Well, this is sad. They weren't planning on reusing it anyway, but it shows that it's still not 100% that a rocket that lands will eventually make it back safely.

Now it seems that the ocean once again got the better of the Falcon Heavy center core. SpaceX does have ways to secure the rockets it lands on drone ships, including a robot known as the “octagrabber” that latches on to the base of the boosters. But because the center core connects to two side boosters, it has a different design than a normal Falcon 9 booster. So the octagrabber cannot hold on to it in the same way. Apparently, SpaceX’s octagrabber just needs some upgrades so that it can nab the center core, according to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. On Twitter, he noted that these attachments were not ready in time for last week’s landing. In the meantime, he noted that SpaceX may be able to save the engines of the core, though there was no mention of the rest of the booster.

We need to explore the space between our ears first.

Well, this sucks. Chances are, Crew Dragon is going to slip substantially.

Pretty good overview of what we know about the "anomaly" here.
https://arstechnica.com/science/2019...agon-accident/ Suffice it to say, this is a pretty major incident and will likely cause a huge shift in timelines. I doubt we'll see a crewed launch in 2019 at this point. |

Obviously a major malfunction. But I'm "glad" it happened during a test.
