Message: [QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 2145560, member: 87"] Mt head is still spinning over this. [I] Halliwell called it "a big step for everybody -- something that's never, ever been done before." SpaceX granted SES insight into the entire process of getting the booster ready to fly again, Halliwell said, providing confidence everything would go well. SES, in fact, is considering more launches later this year on reused Falcon boosters. "Someone has to go first," Halliwell said at a news conference earlier in the week.[/I] I wonder where these guys were in 1981 when this was actually done for the first time, with a faster turnaround between flights and with a freaking human crew on both flights. I guess it was done so long ago by someone else that they forgot and now think it is the first time? [/QUOTE]
