I’m a horrible person ... I laughed at the bent comms tower. Such a simple thing ...

Can they recover the booster? It would be a shame to just let it sink ...

So nice to see how space launches can be done efficiently with the graft and needless people and steps are removed. Just take a minute and think of the billions that have been squandered via NASA....and the counter productive programs and policies that were adhered to because of it being under the federal governments umbrella.

It's *obviously* a racist reference to that 'tallyman' song.
Rimshot!

they might be able to recover some of it, it blew up really good!! part of it was still floating poor booster 13. I am sure spacex will recover the hot staging ring too.

I wonder how much per pound it cost to launch that banana into orbit and back?
