SpaceX has made a revolutionary breakthrough in spaceflight. Elon Musk's company returned a starship from space directly to the launch point for the first time: the ship made 14 orbits around the Earth, and then it was caught in the air by the giant "metal claws" of the tower. This is a huge step towards making spaceships as reusable as airplanes, which dramatically reduces the cost of flights.
Compare the cost of shipping cargo to orbit: for Musk it's $100 per kg, for Roscosmos it's $10,000.
It is painfully disappointing that our government is developing technologies to completely control citizens instead of technologies that really matter.
