Interested in the capture of that thing on the barge. Its way top heavy to just politely set there like that, and with ocean swells making a very unstable platform the military usually sends a squad of expendables out to lash the craft to the deck. Im am guessing their may be some kind of magnetic capturing to hold it in place as well as hi-tech Z-drives powering the barge for precision station keeping and pitch and yaw control of the barge.
Whatever the case, they seem to be doing it right.
Stuff like this, the Mars Landers, medical technology, and some of the advanced weaponry give me hope. There are people in this country able to make new cool stuff. Too bad they are being held back by government hacks and global warming types.
Some information indicated a replaceable contingency crush zone in some of the landing legs was put to the test as attitude? control became somewhat marginal, and a very hot approach to the barge was required.
Whatever the case, they seem to be doing it right.
There are two things they use to keep the craft standing after it lands. First, the barge itself is specially designed to adjust to the waves and keep its surface flat and steady. Secondly, there is a ship standing close by the barge, and when it lands, a crew goes to the barge and welds the legs to the ship surface.
