They're trying to land a rocket on a barge. To make it sports related, it's like trying to do a blindfolded backwards basketball shot from the end line on the other side of the court - except it's with a football and you have to make it go through three hula hoops on the way there.

If any private citizen can prove this feat doable it is most defiantly Musk, but 3 failure's hurts. At a quarter billion bucks a pop this isn't exactly Edison's 2000 ways not to make a light bulb. I'm rooting for him and his venture but it's starting to look like he's gonna hafta find another way to make the rocket booster's reusable.
