They showed coming down and then it went black.

Their were support ships by the landing pad in the water, they know if it was success or not.

Agree not a big deal if not, 2 out of 3 is not bad. Retrieving the rockets just keeps cost down

Yeah it should have landed but the cam feed cut out. Commentators said it wasn't unusual as the vibrations could screw up the video equipment.



Pretty sure they would have a camera filming the core that wasn't on the landing site if they suspected the vibrations to screw up the video equipment. Right?

So does anything go into the ocean?

Is this launch funded by the government?

I think ReaxulTide is there in person. Maybe he can chime in and verify.

I think the core was landing like 300mi off the coast so he wouldn't know

I'm sure it blew up if they haven't found a way to put out imagery yet

They lose the feed on drone ship landings all the time, this is not unusual. Highly doubt it didn’t land successfully.

Amazing how that rocket can leave the ground, enter Earths Orbit, and return back to the launch pad in the same time it takes me to go from Bluebonnet to Essen on the interstate at 4pm
