Ha, forgot about that
Did you see the two booster rockets landing within seconds of each other? I didn't think it was real at first. Is from around 1.20 below

Apparently a copy of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" in the glove box and a towel on board

I don’t think it is real, I think Musk is lying to all of us. Why is it that the boosters are pure white when they take off but clearly have black on the top and the bottom when they land. Why is it that when they land we are just shown one angle, right at the very end of landing? Why not show us them falling from the sky? I think Musk basically lets them go in to orbit, they’ll be space junk. It’s a well produced hoax in my opinion. He’s nowhere near doing what he says he can do, and all he wants is investment that these hoax videos will produce.Vonlipvig wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 6:24 amHa, forgot about that

The onboard cameras show the boosters re entering the atmosphere and touch down. I doubt they would be pristine after the conditions theyd just been through. I'm surprised it's taken this long considering it was all done 49 years ago with less technology.

Apparently it was a deliberate miss. They wanted to see how damaged it would be re-entering using only 3 of its 10 thrusters. Amazingly it didn't get smashed to smithereens. They tried to tow it back to shore but the tug had engine issues. The US airforce then destroyed it as it was dangerous to leave in shipping lanes.buzyg wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 6:59 pmImpresive.
