Musk Video: How Not to land a Rocket! (Fun)

#6  Speaking as a connoisseur of explosions, that was fun!

And while it's great sport to point and laugh, do acknowledge that they are actually doing this - landing a rocket on a freakin' boat! I doubt NASA would even attempt such a thing due to the bad optics of fail. Nothing wrong with failure as long as you learn from it.

#5  Crazy Fool, yeah it might but most boosters just fall in the ocean and crash anyway so nothing really lost except new decks on the landing ships.

#4  Might be cheaper to get the Kerbal Space Program. I believe it's about $14 on Steam now days.
