[a_chap]

Bloody hell!

 

[Limejuice]

WOW!!!

Leaning.

On fire.

On the fucking ground.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I think we can just about call that a success. Slightly wonky, mildly on fire, but it made it

 

[Crispy]

That landing manoeuver never fails to amaze

 

[teuchter]

Is it just balanced on a slightly crumpled base then?

 

[Limejuice]

Oops!

 

[teuchter]

Not any more

 

[Crispy]

Ha!

That still counts as a landing

 

[Limejuice]

That'll buff out.

Elon can recycle that baby.

 

[20Bees]

Nooooooo

 

[teuchter]

Ha!

That still counts as a landing

Two landings

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Oooooops

 

[Crispy]

Blame the temporary single-use landing legs.

 

[2hats]

Excellent. I got a landing and a RUDE.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Takeoff - Good
Landing - Good
Reusability - Needs a bit of work

 

[Crispy]

Reusability - Needs a bit of work

Nonsense! They turned it round and launched it agin in a matter of minutes!

 

[TopCat]

Thunderbirds are blown.

 

[NoXion]

The fact that it exploded after landing this time is actually pretty concerning. Kind of like your car catching fire after turning the ignition off.

A falcon 9 going up part of starlink mission going up in less than 10 mins

 

[TopCat]

It did look cool landing.

 

[TopCat]

Then hot , very hot.

 

[weltweit]

I missed the video last night, so it landed on fire and then what, exploded?

 

[TopCat]

I missed the video last night, so it landed on fire and then what, exploded?

It went well, landed like it was Tracy Island then blew up after three mins on the ground.

 

[Crispy]

Yeah, shonky one-use landing gear didn't deploy properly.

 

[TopCat]

Yeah, shonky one-use landing gear didn't deploy properly.

It wasn’t leaning! It looked vertical.

 

[teuchter]

It was leaning.
I guess no-one got the chance to do one of those leaning tower of Pisa photos where you pretend to hold it up with your finger.

 

[weltweit]

I wonder what burnable material was burning?

 

[TopCat]

I wonder what burnable material was burning?

Dollar bills

 

[teuchter]

I wonder what burnable material was burning?

I'm no rocket scientist, but I'd take a stab at rocket fuel.
