Original Note:
This post implies (or highly suggests) that the technology needed to land a rocket vertically was unknown to NASA. In fact, the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, nicknamed "Eagle," landed on the surface of the Moon using the same technology (VTVL) more that 50 years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTVL https://www.nasa.gov/history/apollo-11-mission-overview/#:~:text=The%20descent%20engine%20continued%20to,degrees%2C%2026%20minutes%20east%20longitude.
