Another missed landing for SpaceX, on a barge 200 miles out in the sea, rather than at Cape Canaveral a month ago (which was a tremendous success) -- I think that's the third try on a harge, after a successful launch and deployment. Apparently it's a lot harder than it appears, and gives Jeff Bezos of Amazon an opening.

I don't know -- maybe several rockets had multiple uses; have you ever thought of that? Blue Origins has a business plan, believe it or not, and they're executing on that plan with fervor -- including rockets that orbit the earth. I think personally you're just shooting off your mouth, a quarter cocked. Hmmmm?
I'm curious, why don't they just simply crash land it on the ocean and make it so it floats via floatation devices post impact? Get a ship to location to collect it out of the water afterwards.

Jeff Bezos rocket doesnt even go to orbit, how does this help him in any way? He is making a rocket for a completely different use.
