Obviously their first priority is to get it right everytime, due to being fixed firmly within the middle of the ULA crosshairs. Also, if they can get their stages soft landing back on firm ground, the cost of launching hardware to LEO could conceivably be reduced to well under $1,000 per kilo. That result would be great for all space flight endeavours, especially HSF.

They have had small glitches along the way.

As far as the “kaboom” is concerned, it seems to me that uber hot rocket motors and cold water wouldn’t mix too well. Just a thought.
