I wonder if one of us will get into space

The spacex story and trajectory is quite similar to STEEM.

It began with promise, fizzled out a little with a lot of exploded rockets and now can seem to do no wrong... except ruin Mark Zuckerberg's plans for facebook.

Here's to hoping STEEM can do a similar explosion ;)

This week saw spacex meet another milestone and quite a difficult one at that.

This was the second rocket being used for a second time.

This one was flown in January and was being reflown to launch a payload to a very high orbit, therefore it would have to land on the sea barge, since there is not enough fuel left to reverse the rocket back to land.

It was "extra toasty" in Elon Musk's words because of the higher orbit and therefore a more forceful re-entry. It was also a more complicated, three burn reentry, ending in the sea barge landing.

As can be seen below, the landing only just stuck, with one of the shock absorbents taking a large hit and therefore leaning a little.

If STEEM continues with its lunar trajectory, perhaps a soon to be cheaper trip to space using reusable rockets could be paid on day with STEEM.
