        @elonmusk let us apply the word ´flyback´ to Tesla - ask him what he thinks about it

        Is refuel&flyback still in the plans now that the final (v5) of the F9 has been designed? will retractable legs support weight of fueled F9?

        @moneyman10k @elonmusk Both. Refueling and flyback means it's useful for greater payload F9 and FH core even after flyback approval.

        @Robotbeat good point! given elon's cost-magic, it seems totally valid to do this affordable work now, whether it's necessary or not!

        @elonmusk: "Will allow refuel & rocket flyback in future." So, #SpaceX IS planning on flying back to land from the barge. Missed that tweet.

        @John_Gardi @elonmusk Seems ideal for edge cases where performance not quite enough to fly back but enough to follow ballistic trajectory.

        @Harbles Folks were saying @elonmusk would launch orbital missions from the barge. I couldn't figure out why. But fly-back to land? Why not?
