Jeff Foust’s take on the SpaceX success, over at The Space Review. I’d like to be surprised that people are surprised, but I’m not. Elon could have regular service operating between earth and Mars, with thousands living there, while NASA is still planning the first flight of SLS, and some people would complain that he’s not building starships.

…and some people would complain that he’s destroying Mars’ atmosphere by not personally financing a Tesla factory there.
The good and bad news is that when Elon gets an idea he sticks with it until it proves false. Recovering the second stage gets a lot easier when you realize orbit is exactly where you want it.
