Pardon if this has already been posted. I just saw on the news a reusable rocket called the "Grasshopper" that can hover sideways and land upright like Blofeld's capsule eating vehicle in YOLT. In science fiction films made right up to the NASA space program, rockets were portrayed to work this way, including YOLT, but with the advent of "real" rocket technology, that all seemed to be just that, fiction, until now:

The future has proved Bond movies were right all along on a number of technological things. )
