It's been just 3 years since the first rocket landing, and we're so used to it to the point that today's mishap will get more coverage than yesterday's achievement. Seeing the renewed speed of the space launch industry puts a huge smile on me.
- Pica_soO 8y agoEven a soft-water landing was a wet dream 20 years ago.
- segmondy 8y agoActually, that was a good "intact water landing" the rocket stopped the spin before landing, then the rocket positioned itself so it fell horizontal on the water for retrieval instead of vertical
- TomVDB 8y agoDoes that mean that it uses some side boosters to ensure that the movement from vertical to horizontal is controlled?
