I just saw SpaceX's most recent rocket launch and it looked like they detached the boosters.
I think they exploded afterwards, too.
Absolutely. But that's only because Elon musk doesn't mind throwing away money. He's got so much of it. The rockets were supposed to stabilize themselves and land to be reused. He's blown up more rockets than NASA so far. In much less time.
Oh yeah, I was just curious what spaceX did cause it doesn't look like they accomplished anything we haven't done before.
Maybe if they successfully implement re-usable boosters, then they would have done something new.
