Default Elon Musk's new re-usable, hovering rocket ship in first testliftoff

It's going to be interesting to see how SpaceX approaches FAA
certification for this.

I'm going to bet that it would be easiest for SpaceX to appropriate an
otherwise uninhabited island off the East Coast of Florida for a landing
pad and barge it back to the Cape, rather than try to fly this thing
back over populated territory. Either that or a sea barge landing platform.
