This list doesn't seem to include Google's skunkworks projects like Google Fiber and self-driving cars. It also doesn't include Android or Glass.

Can I somehow replicate that using the link you provided? I've seen D3 struggle when handling more than a couple thousand nodes, so I'd be interested to see how you got it to go up to 100K.

My understanding is that the main improvement here is that the rocket is sophisticated enough to land itself gently and intact. Why would a missile ever want to do that?

I think you actually understand it just fine but might be confusing yourself a bit. Paying the reservation fee does just get you reduced per minute rates, but the fee is not $200/mo. The reservation fee in this example is $676 for an e
