I've always thought the goal was to launch from south Texas and to land the 1st stage in Florida. I don't know if that's too far, or not far enough. Maybe second stage? Although the second stage is a lot higher and faster at the end of it's burn.
- simonh 12y agoThe actual goal stated by SpaceX has always been to land the first stage at the facility it launched from. Bear in mind the first stage doesn't actually travel all that far down range comparatively speaking. It's primary job is to get the second stage up out of as much atmosphere as possible.
