Awesome !

The capsule landing was a little hard, I would want a softer landing.

Ticket Price ?

It looks like a really fun way to blow 1/4 million or so in a day.

I have no idea what it will cost, but it ain't gonna be cheap.

The future is here. I remember watching those old Sci Fi movies from the fifties or even Bugs Bunny/Marvin Martian. They always landed on some planet vertically in some cigar shaped spaceship just like in the video. I recall thinking how silly that was - we'll never land a rocket like that, it would make no sense and it's too complicated.

It was way easier to draw it that way, and it was a cartoon. Accuracy is not a big issue with a cartoon with talking rabbits and Martians.

All I saw was that the rocket landed at 4.4mph. No idea on the capsule.
