• Also, the minimum thrust of just one of the 9 engines is more than the weight of the almost-empty booster, so it can't hover in like a lander, it has to come in fast, decelerate hard then cut the engine... Ideally just as the feet touch down.

  • Yeah, they had an engine failure on a recent launch yet still managed to get a satellite in orbit.

    Apparently they had a problem loading it with fuel last night and it's unclear when the re-re-scheduled launch will be. Some time in the next few days.
