While previous Falcon 9 re-entries were aiming for an accuracy of within 10 kilometers of their optimal landing site, SpaceX says this particular mission is targeting a landing accuracy of within 10 meters.

Shit, wouldn't a 14-story rocket topple over if the barge had the least bit of waves? Seems like they're attempting something completely pointless, and beside the point of building a reusable space ship in the first place.

OK, so, they haven't managed to land one yet, but the plan is to land three per mission. They were close enough on the first try to make it look plausible with a bit more practice.
