CatastrophicFailure

You’re forgetting that cryogenic liquid that basically makes anything it comes in contact with highly flammable, including maniacs. if only there were 10,000 instead, those were the days...

Just you wait.

You & me both. For a while now.

You see, Ivan, when [drowned out by rocket noise].

...pokes @KSK with a stick...

Gee, I wonder... Does that mean they’ve hooked it up for tow then?

Well... at least this one will get washed. Wait, does salvage law apply here? That’s a nice booster they’ve got there, be a shame if someone with a faster boat... That one was deliberately sunk, I think. Lot of confusion around it.

The $60 million question.

The center engine can’t control roll with gimbal tho.

I don’t see how they could have stabilized without three engines, no way cold-gas thrusters @ sea level could arrest that much roll.

Wait, engineS. Confirms was a 3 engine landing, then?

More on board footage! Not for those prone to seasickness. [ninja’d ] Wheeeeeeeeeee! Right, that’s the idea, so that if a failure does happen, it doesn’t take out the landing pad/droneship.

And it sounds like it will now. Oy, what a morning!

Context of how close it was:

They've pulled off undamaged water landings before, but this one they might actually recover. At least they'll get to tear it apart and find out what went 19.

One Ring to Foul them All.... or at least this one...

But it sounds ok!

Elon is saying grid fin hydraulic pump stalled...

That's a bit dire from a single, as yet un-diagnosed issue. They mentioned in the feed, that was just ice coming off, nothing that hasn't happened before.

Unless they go all BulgariaSat on us.

In the drink. Well, at least they've demonstrated that the "aim for the water till the burn starts" trajectory works...

That spinning does not look good...

Hey, it’s legal in like 20 states as long as you have a permit and/or notify the authorities within 24 hours*. *some restrictions apply

Ah yes. That one. The one I thought I didn’t know, so I had to go have a listen myself. The one I apparently blocked out or repressed or something. Weird Al, himself, has said of it he wanted to compose a song... Yeah. I must be that guy. I always skipped over it and back to The Saga Begins... (back at the turn of the millennium we still had these things called CDs that made you do that as we feared the impending doom of Y2K. )

Called it. Wish they’d release some video, it’d be nice for us plebs to see just how close (or not) they’re getting.
