Why not? Isn't that what they currently do for the falcon 9s? Sure, the rocket equation makes it more difficult since it's an exponential increase in fuel, but

Why not? Isn't that what they currently do for the falcon 9s? Sure, the rocket equation makes it more difficult since it's an exponential increase in fuel, but that's not impossible, right?
- balfirevic 8y ago> Isn't that what they currently do for the falcon 9s? It's not (not even close). Falcon 9 first stage isn't reentering from orbital velocity. It's essentially impossible, and if it weren't it would be terribly wasteful. Orbital velocity is going to be primarily shed by atmosphere.
