What about elevators though. They give you up and let you down.

@elonmusk Any love for ceilings? They tend to look down on floors
Elon Musk

A ceiling is simply a floor from below

And is it more efficient than Gary? I mean, than Harriet. Or just any other TBM ever made.

Gary (the snail) is a speed demon. Long way to go before we beat him/her.

No longer waiting for Godot. It has begun boring and just completed the first segment of tunnel in LA.

Good summary of rocket landing history. There were two successful water landings much earlier, but they didn't survive long.
The Verge@verge· Jun 26, 2017SpaceX just nailed two rocket landings in one weekend

Several tons of force on each fin at high angles of attack & peak heating is the cube of speed, so a Mach 8 reentry is 8X Mach 4. Intense.

Down the road, they will not even be repainted between launches. Aiming to be able to relaunch same orbital rocket booster in <24 hours.

Are we ever gonna get an update on fairing recovery? Did that work? Are you still trying?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jun 25, 2017
Getting closer to fairing recovery and reuse. Had some problems with the steerable parachute. Should have it sorted out by end of year.

New titanium grid fins worked even better than expected. Should be capable of an indefinite number of flights with no service.

They look 3D printed! Or some kind of lost wax casting. But they're massive... are they entirely human designed?

Launch at 1:25 delivering 10 satellites for Iridium. Droneship repositioned due to extreme weather. Will be tight.
