Re: SpaceX Booster Recovery Saga
ULA wasn't trying to do crap in the reusable rockets department until Spacex started testing grasshopper.
In fact their CEO, Bruno, said:
"Bruno said firing engines to control a rocket's flight back to Earth, as SpaceX is now trying to do with its Falcon 9 booster, wastes fuel that could help deliver payloads to orbit.
"That's how rocket engineers see the world," he said. "That's all energy you could have used to put a bigger payload in the same orbit, or the same payload further up.""
