DC-1a aka Falcon-9/Dragon Sticks the Landing

After 11 years of hard work, functional, single stage to orbit rockets have finally arrived.   I was crying when I watched this video.  Elon Musk calls his Space-X company's rocket the "Falcon-9."   It is the first incarnation of our dream, the delta clipper (DC-1) conceived in the 1960s and  first funded by the US government in 1991. My grand children can be free from this repressive gravity well and will be able to reap the resources and benefits of space.

Congratulations to everyone involved.  Ad astra!
