Few days ago private space company SpaceX pulled off pretty important technological feat - landing of first stage from their rocket. This is widely considered important step in development of reusable rockets.
Context:
Movie of landing: here.
Entire webcast: here.
There are also dozen of amateur movies made from distance by public.
Of course, there are people that call it hoax, like here, here or here.
First one is my favourite: short, concise and shows blatant and deliberate attempt to deceive (there IS reason why this nutter cropped out landing pad - to hide unnatural behaviour of cloud in reversed movie).
Context:
- almost all rockets have two or more parts, called stages. Actual stuff to send in space, called payload, is at top, usually covered by fairing.
- almost all rockets are one-use and are wasted away after launch. Notable exception was Space Shuttle, but its reuse failed to achieve stated goal (lowering cost of launching stuff to space).
