SpaceX video showing Falcon 9 stages and Dragon performing a vertical landing
In article 60d6e678-bb96-4e9d-9ee1-ed4a7f5899e0

One possibility is that SpaceX is fishing for U.S. Air Force R&D
money. USAF has been playing with the idea of fly back boosters for
whatever comes after EELV. SpaceX probably wants to play that game.
Possibly, but such money comes with many strings attached. The biggest
reason SpaceX's costs are so low is that they aren't tied up with the
typical strings which come with government contracts.
