Anyone familiar with BPS Space? This video series he's been doing
on trying to achieve SpaceX-style VTVL (on hobby-rocket motors!) is
extremely interesting. Basically starting from "No idea how to do this"
and try-failing towards success, sticking with hardware he can *afford*
to do this with. He's no Armadillo or Masten, but what he's been able
to achieve so far is still impressive.
