I watched the video and in the closest shot it looked unstable in flight and the landing was rough.

For now it’s just intended to be a cargo carrier with no crew.

NASA is no longer a “Can-Do” engineering organization. It is now a “Can’t-DO” bureaucracy...

It’s principle mission is Muslim-outreach, junk climate science, LGBTQ and feminist promotion and obstruction of true space exploration.

It’s time is past. The DoD should leverage commercial developments for a presence in space and ignore NASA.

No payload capacity in this thing at all. 1/2 Gallon of milk and a dozon eggs is all your getting in the trunk.

Front landing gear is a ski? Looks like it’s tearing up the runway a bit too. Can especially see it just before it comes to a stop.

“Oscar, I can’t hold her! She’s breaking up! She’s breaking up!”

Those lines still haunt me.

The difference between this drop test and the previous one is all the landing gear functioned this round. Last round required shovel work to round up all the parts.
