the one complicating aspect of all this is the droneship, or rather the swell and oceanic gusts it's subject to. I'd wager it would be a lot easier to achieve on terra firma where all the reference points on the ground are absolutely static and expected to be so after a successful landing.

- They launch from Florida and there aren't many available land masses to the east they could do. They've secured a landing pad from the air force for the future.detritus
- Also, they started with land testing, just not from live sub-orbital launches. https://www.youtube.…detritus
