And which has been more successful to date?
Maybe Boeing should have done some unmanned testing and learned from their mistakes. With manned testing, they have to be much more careful, and therefore they don't learn as much.

So does it sink and they lose it? Or can they retrieve it out of the gulf?

I wonder if they can know if the Commit Criteria rules will be violated prior to launch to know if a catch would be possible? Or is it based on something that happens between T-0 and separation?

Well that's a bummer about no catch. FAA looking to screw them over with a long investigation, i'm sure.

They were bringing the booster in faster, it is what rt3 mentioned in the OP. I bet that put it in a no catch.

I think there was a slight lag in the 3 engine cutoff and tbh thats all it really takes

Nah.... there's nothing to investigate them, is there?

The tower confirmed a catch attempt after separation, but then moments later changed to no-catch. Something must not have been nominal with the booster.
FAA is going to put a hold on launch licenses pending investigation of the anomaly.

That's not exactly how it works. Part of the license is explicit mission criteria. If any part of that mission criteria fails, FAA is going to shutbit down pending a complete rca.
The mission criteria was to catch the thing. After separation it was still a go. Moments later it changed. I'll be shocked if FAA doesn't ground it. I just hope it's a quick investigation and the FAA doesn't do stupid political shite again.

I wonder how much fuel they expected it to have when they caught it. That was a lot of stuff of the flammable sort that burned up.

Oh, I get that... but it won't be some long, drawn out thing is all I'm saying.
Better to blow up a rocket rather than potentially lose the launch site for a few months.

Is it going to orbit on the heads-side or the tails-side?
