Every failure gets you closer to success.

Hey SpaceX, learn something from NASA. They canceled flights until the weather cleared.

No immense government-bought land area as at Cape Canaveral.
That is a very, very compact landing pad-launch pad-launch tower complex very near the landing pad target!

Nasa. They canceled flights until the weather cleared. Except for that one unfortunate occurrence in 1986.

On engine relight looks like only one raptor relight, causing hard landing, in the fog. Will be interesting to see after fog clears

Coincidentally, Allan J. McDonald - the Morton Thiakol (sp?) engineer who begged them to cancel the flight because of the unseasonably cold weather - just died a couple weeks ago.

I just missed it live, looks like Tim Dodd on Youtube’s camera was hit by debris. He’s bummed, and I am too.
Next one, SN15, is a major update. But if they can’t land that one, I really dunno how long they can keep this up.

Funny enough, the fins are powered by Tesla engines and batteries.

A Parachute would be cheaper than a entire Spaceship, but that’s just me. #;^)

NASA had a failure back in January I think it was.
They’re still arranging meetings about it. Meanwhile SpaceX has had 5 launches.

Parachutes don’t work so well on the moon... or Mars for that matter.
