Apparently landing a rocket on solid ground wasn't good enough for SpaceX.
The company's Falcon 9 rocket recently made history by launching a payload into orbit and then coming down softly for a vertical landing at Cape Canaveral.
But now SpaceX wants to try something harder: landing on a drone platform in the sea. NBC News reports that SpaceX will attempt the sea landing after launching NASA's Jason-3 satellite, which will monitor ocean circulation and sea level. The launch is currently scheduled for January 17.

Considering DP technology, this shouldn't be that big of a deal (or at least that big of a difference from landing on land).
