“An FAA representative was present at all times”
As though that would provide the final, absolutely necessary, level of safety. I’m sure the rep was an interference more than a help.
I know these companies have to bow down an kiss the kings ring, but it sure chaps my hide when I see it in print.

why are they not launching to put mist of the trajectory over the Gulf?
It is interesting they launched this thing out in farm/ranch country not far south of G W Bush’s place in TX.
It must be fun collecting all of the pieces.

Hamas can fire rockets, they just cannot guide them (fortunately).

It’s also known as a ‘cato’ (catostrophic explosion or event).

“It must be fun collecting all of the pieces.”
This is what we call a rocket that re-kits itself and requires a trash bag recovery.
What would have been really cool is if they had installed a BRS on the top of the F9R that could have been activated and brought the rocket down slowly.

“anamoly”
I think this is the word flying people use ever since that ‘Twilight Zone’ episode with Captain Kirk and a gremlin on the wing.

Musk is a cult figure worshiped a god by the far-left. He’s also addicted to taxpayer handouts.
