Because it was formed to do tunneling. "Boring"

Think about this. Who that worked on the original space program ever envisaged the rocket boosters returning to earth and actually landing so they could be reused.

The only thing Musk hasn't figured out to do is to make money

I didn't know that :)

I thought it was the capsule that could return and land, a sort of space shuttle but without the wings, e.g an Apollo type capsule?... the boosters themselves wouldn't actually land but may be retrievable?

Yet he must surely have plenty of it?
