60 years ago today, Alan Shepard became the first American in (sub-orbital) space. Today, 60 years later, SpaceX has successfully launched, and re-landed Starship - the vehicle that will take the world (yes, I know, the Chinese are looking to do it on their own...) back to the Moon, and on to Mars! S/N 15 flew a flawless test flight from Launch Pad B, climbed to 10km, and hovered (again, I know, right? They HOVERED a freakin’ SPACE SHIP!!!) then returned to land on the pad... and THIS time, it didn’t even blow up!

This is History, folks!

The Sky is NOT the Limit!

If the resulting landing distance or threat of running out of speed is too great, find another place to land.
