Oh I know I was over simplifying it, but until Musk ULA basically had a monopoly on the rocket game and had no reason to update their business model. Why innovate to lower prices when people had to pay 300 million for a launch.

Uh, did something just happen? It looked like something hit the rocket
edit: I think it was an optical illusion based on the video skipping and suddenly a reflection is on the rocket. Last edited by Kiimo; 02-06-2018 at 05:53 PM.. |

It successfully hit the water at 300 mph. 2 of 3 rockets didn't light.

Anyone watching the star man feed? There was a few minutes where the lights died then the feed went down. Back up now though. Anyone know how long that feed is supposed to last?

The booster? Yeah, it's in a million tiny pieces. Sounds like the drone ship was damaged as well, but not beyond repair or anything.
They weren't going to reuse any of the three boosters, so at least they still got good data from it and can learn for the future. |

This should go without saying but never go on Twitter to see what people are saying.
People who have no idea how the space industry works ( I barely have a grasp on any of it) bitching about there being a car in space. |
