Ever heard of a VTVL vehicle? Me neither. It's basically a rocket that comes right back home. It stands for "vertical takeoff vertical landing" and this this video demonstrates exactly how it's supposed to work.

I suppose in theory being able to re-use a rocket is a great thing. Those puppies can't be cheap and having them burn up somewhere in the atmosphere over Earth probably isn't all that kind to Mother Nature.

HOWEVER......does anyone else envision the possibility of a take off and "return" without the DELIVERY happening? Catch my drift?
