Armadillo Aerospace - Mod free flight, engine restart, 4 views

This exchange made me grin :) To add some value to my comment, here's a cool video from one of armadillo's test rockets: ▶ this video

Bigger but this [1] test by Armadillo was more impressive in my opinion for the additional complexity involved in cutting the engine deploying a chute then cutting the chute and successfully landing from a turbulent freefall. [1] ▶ this video

I felt the same way until i read a post from a HN user about "being mediocre and it's OK". Not being a rocket scientist doesn't mean i can't build great stuff too, i'll just never do something like this :) ▶ this video
