Yeah, the DC-X was neat and all but that's suborbital on a stubby cone shaped rocket. That's essentially what New Shepard accomplished and not really comparable to actually recovering the first stage on a real orbital launch. As for the shuttle, well there's a reason why Buran wound up being nothing more than a hanger queen and it was arguably superior to the shuttle. From a practical perspective I think it's fair to say that SpaceX has been the largest impact in access to orbit since the 70s. |
