Apparently last time their laser rangefinder was turned off groundside and thus wasn’t available during landing.
This time they remembered to turn it on, but it didn’t work very well.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoThat’s a proximate-cause analysis. If the root of their problem is a rangefinder, what happened that caused them to consistently miss with it? The lack of credible comments strikes me as someone socking the answer: they’ve committed to a stacked format that is inherently unstable. If they can’t get an answer out before the next budget is passed, their contracts should be cancelled.
