SpaceX's New Method Of Landing Starship Booster Somehow SHOCKED NASA...
If SpaceX targets Florida as the primary launch site for the Starship rocket, they have to acknowledge the fact that there might not be enough room for all landing activities.
This makes sense. The traffic jam in Nasa's main launch sites is common because most of the various companies' rocket operations are concentrated there.
So, the solution could be to land the Super Heavy on the drone ship, simulating what SpaceX has done with the Falcon rockets.
However, due to its huge size and unique design, there will be significant updates for these barges, which could mimic the design of today's popular ocean drilling rigs.
Find out everything in today's episode of Techmap.
SpaceX's New Method Of Landing Starship Booster Somehow SHOCKED NASA...
Although the concept of reusable rockets has appeared since Nasa's Space Shuttle era, SpaceX is the pioneer in taking this concept to the peak.
Nasa's only reusable rocket project, namely the Space Shuttle ended in a loss when it failed to meet Nasa's standards: low cost, fast turnaround, and safety. Since then, we haven't seen any similar counterpart made by the agency. The reason is very simple. In addition to being incompetent, Nasa doesn't use enough rockets to make reusability worthwhile because they are not really in the rocket development business. Reusable rockets are only valuable if the frequency of launches is great enough to outweigh the cost of developing and utilizing the technology.

SpaceX is totally different, a commercial space company aims to launch a huge amount of rockets into space. Not only succeed, but SpaceX also can leave Nasa in the dust when its vehicles have high safety, short turnaround, and of course, low cost. A typical example is the case of the Falcon 9 rocket. The success of the SpaceX Falcon 9 reusable launch vehicle has been one of the most remarkable technological achievements of the last decade. Powered by SpaceX’s Merlin engine, the Falcon 9 booster can be reused up to 20 times, with minimal maintenance between flights. Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 361 times over 14 years, resulting in 359 full successes (99.45%)
To achieve that remarkable achievement, can't help but mention the contribution of ground infrastructure serving for launch and especially, landing. Currently, the Falcon rockets have been launched from the locations that SpaceX leased from Nasa, including two in Florida: Cape Canaveral, SLC 40; and Kennedy Space Center, LC 39A; one in California, Vandenberg, SLC 4E. In 2025, there will be another option from California, Vandenberg, SLC-6.
