They needs some nets. Or some sort of arresting gear.

Yes. They are only using one rocket motor. If it’s being used for course correction as it was here, not as much thrust can be used to slow descent. They need a stable approach to be successful.

They need to be stable enough to hover before they touch down.
To: Elderberry
That’s correct. I hope they can correct it with software. I think it’s apparent now that they have a bigger problem than simply running out of hydraulic fluid.

They’ve made a successful soft landing on water before, which didn’t require much precision on the horizontal plane. I wonder if the last second corrections for a precision landing are causing a problem with fuel sloshing.

Like I said on another thread, I really think they were coming in too hot speed wise.
Looked like they had no hover time to make final "tweaking" adjustments.

It looks to me like a landing was accomplished, but with too much tilt. Thanks for the link.
