I've always been curious as to why that drone is so damn tiny compared to the rocket. Wouldn't make it slightly larger reduce your chances of missing the platform, or are they just that confident about their accuracy?
- ambicapter 8y agoThe drone ship is almost the size of a football field.
- ehsankia 8y agoHuh, you're right. It's really hard to get a sense of scale. https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/OCISLY-and-Roomba-123117-johnabc123.jpeg https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/OCISLY-...
- ygra 8y agoAs someone noted already, the drone ship isn't small. Also, accuracy didn't seem to be a problem in any if the landings, as long as nothing unexpected happened, like fuel running out. Someone ok r/spacex recently compiled a diagram of landing locations: https://i.redd.it/yra4ipgl3ln21.jpg https://i.redd.it/yra4ipgl3ln21.jpg it doesn't look like they need the target to be bigger.
