Not remotely close to shuttle like capability. Gov involvement rqd to achieve shuttle like system, too big for commercial!
The third time proved to be the charm for SpaceX as their Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched into space on Monday night and then safely landed its booster back on Earth shortly thereafter.
Such an achievement has been the goal of SpaceX since its inception in 2002, but proved to be an exceedingly difficult feat after failing twice over the last year.
