Codraroll Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Textbook lithobrake! It looks like the nose cone is still intact. Had there been people aboard, they might not have been entirely salsaed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenperforce Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Just now, Delta dart said: It lost an engine I don't even know that it lost an engine. I think they may have used a two-engine landing on purpose, to induce more torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolotiyeruki Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) A few seconds before ...er....touchdown, lots of green flames from the engine on the left. I seem to remember that being associated with lots of copper combusting that shouldn't be combusting...

ExtremeSquared Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I am wildly impressed that the totally insane aerodynamic bellyflop and flip plan resulted in an upright, center-of-pad, and non-terminal-velocity landing. Wildly impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSchmuckatelli Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'm rewatching - why is Senate's burn so clean? I'm used to a smoke /contrail column under a Rocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brotoro Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Watching replay. They had two engines firing on the landing. Did it crash because they needed all three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
