Damn. I missed it.
So cool how the after Stage 1 separation the spent rocket falls away, then goes vertical, then descends. Stuck the landing, but too hard. "We falcon punched the barge." Can't wait for that footage.

It was swinging quite a bit coming into the barge. Gotta get that stabilized. |

Better quality + explosion.
If you turn on high res, you can see the thrusters at the top trying to keep it upright. Just not quite. Last edited by DaFace; 04-15-2015 at 04:40 PM.. |

I took an advanced College Physics course. We had to plot a trajectory and landing on the moon. This was pre-internet so there was no cheating. Those landings are so damn hard to do because of weight/mass/height and trying to keep the center.
