I wonder why, after all this time having to sit around and wait, they wouldn't attempt a reentry and water landing with 2nd stage.

- MPSimmons 3y agoThe nominal reentry and water landing is targeting the area off of Hawaii. I believe it has to do with risk analysis of not re-entering over populated areas. The open ocean around Hawaii doesn't have people, so if it re-enters and breaks apart, there's no risk. Also, I suspect there are good military radar installations on the islands that might be able to provide additional information.
