[Meatloaf] Impressive New Rocket-Booster Recovery Tech from Space-X

[pt]

Definitely impressive.  I only wish the youtube video had explained all the
flames coming out the side of the rocket.

And can you imagine the heat blast that the pad below the rocket has to
endure?  What happens if the booster gets a bit off-kilter as it's being
snagged and the engines point at the base of the tower for a second or so??
