A Falcon 9 returning from past the Karman line at near hypersonic speed, flipping around, balancing itself like a pencil on a fingertip, and landing back at the launch pad isn't futuristic? We are living in a second golden age of aerospace innovation. https://youtu.be/1B6oiLNyKKI https://youtu.be/1B6oiLNyKKI Fun fact: the Falcon 9 cannot throttle its engines low enough to hover. That means it lands at >1g, cutting thrust the moment it touches the pad to avoid taking off again.
