Text updates of things going on. Since I can't find a technical broadcast for this launch this is the next best thing. |

I'm torn between wanting this to work because we need 'Murican space ships, and wanting Musk to fail big time.
I'll just pretend he is not involved. |

Why was it only a 3 engine landing? Was that intentional as a test to see if it could be done?

For some reason, the webcast kept crashing like every 3-8 seconds on my phone. "Something went wrong, tap to retry."
Kinda saw it go through the app. Walked outside to see if I could see it, but it's too small in the daylight to see anything of it from Jax. At night, no problem. And if it was as big as the shuttle, it wouldn't be a problem in daylight. Oh well. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
A normal landing only uses 1 engine. they had to use 3 since it was coming in so fast. Using 3 means they decelerate faster but also use what little fuel they have left much faster. So the margin for error is much tighter. |
