Fair point - they didn't even plan a landing for the Spaceship, just a splashdown in the Pacific, so the plan was always to "lose" it. And it was well on track

Fair point - they didn't even plan a landing for the Spaceship, just a splashdown in the Pacific, so the plan was always to "lose" it. And it was well on track for that, it reached target height and already fired about 90% of its fuel. The only thing it didn't get to test was the heat shield, but there'll be plenty of other chances.
I'm sorry about the booster tho. But overall it's hard to consider this anything other than a great success.
- agumonkey 3y agoany footage of the splashdown ?
- imtringued 3y agoDid you miss the part where the first stage exploded and they lost communication with the second stage? There is no footage for that.
- agumonkey 3y agoI found some
