This game shows how hard it is to recover the first stage of a rocket. Try to land smoothly as you can.

- Experience the unique thrill of landing a reusable rocket on a land or drone ship in the middle of the ocean.
- Compete with your friends and world-wide players to see who's the best rocket pilot.

Right now, most rockets are destroyed or lost after they launch into space, meaning entirely new rockets must be built for each mission. Reusable rockets that land themselves are a critical aspect of reducing the cost to reach orbit and increase space access. Space tourism become a reality for everyone and also we will be able to establish a city on Mars in the future.

The majority of the launch cost comes from building the rocket, which flies only once. Compare that to a commercial airliner each new plane costs about the same as Falcon 9, but can fly multiple times per day, and conduct tens of thousands of flights over its lifetime.

Reusability
The rocket doesn't travel straight upward into space but follows…

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to land the Space Shuttle? Now you can find out. F-Sim Space Shuttle is a critically acclaimed flight simulator for Android smartphones and tablets. It simulates the Space Shuttle approach and landing in incredible detail and accuracy. We’ve tried to combine realistic flight dynamics with stunning graphics and fun game play: Each landing attempt takes just a few minutes. Our landing analysis and scoring system tells you exactly how to improve your next landing. It will make you come back and try again.

Each flight starts at either 10,000 feet, already aligned with the runway, or at up to 50,000 feet, before banking into the heading alignment cone. During descent, the Orbiter is an unpowered glider, so you will only have one chance to get it right. Astronauts used to call it a flying brick: because of its 200,000 lbs. gross weight and low lift over…

A new video in response to a number of threads on the NASASpaceflight.com forum, with notional animations to demonstrate how I speculate SpaceX's Starship might operate in practice.
