History was made on April 8, 2016 when SpaceX landed their Falcon 9 rocket on their autonomous spaceport drone ship, "Of Course I Still Love You". This occurred after successfully delivering their payload aboard the Dragon spacecraft to low earth orbit during the CRS-8 mission.
-Take Two! Falcon 9 Landing at Sea

This has been picking up quite a bit of media attention of the last few weeks. What is your take? Are these sorts of technologies and innovations worth federal investment? Why or why not? What kind of future do you see for NASA when compared to private industries beginning to make such strides?
