They're actually huge expensive carbon fiber things. Think "racing yacht hulls", and cost several millions of dollars each. A significant portion of the cost of the whole vehicle. Plus they're slow to manufacture, so the

Demonstrating that the system can work as intended is the point of the test, and that includes recovery. The boosters in particular have different aero. Even though these won't be reused, they serve to demonstrate that future vehicles

They probably used a simple model (and experience) to determine the needed amount. But the model was wrong because, well, it encountered the real world. So they'll adjust in the future. Probably they could have analyzed the heck out of

You have to do responsive design, and yes, that's a big change (and a big PITA) but that doesn't require flex or grid or React or whatever. You can't go all the way back to tables, but good ol' div-based design with appr

There are lots of depositional (and erosive) processes happening. They're all subject to local conditions. But the most common (in no particular order) are: accumulation of plant matter, flood deposits, human-generated organic and buil

I don't mean technically. I mean that's my behavior. If there were at least a "starts at" I would know whether it's a complete waste of time. When there's not, I assume it is.
