Lots of comments about how this is not feasible, but wasn't spaceX's vision of a reusable rockets similarly not feasible at the outset and they've since been making some quite considerable progress towards this.
- platz 9y agoHN certainly did _not_ take a "not feasable" stance on spaceX's vision of a reusable rockets.
- lmm 9y agoA reusable rocket was not just feasible, it had already been done with the Space Shuttle. "We'll do what the Space Shuttle did but 50x cheaper" is ambitious to be sure, but it's not at the same level as "we'll do this completely new thing that has never been done before".
