Apparently it tipped over just after landing, so not a 100% success but still a step forward.

They are getting closer, pretty fucking impressive.

Now get the reliability down to Soyuz levels, which will be the hardest part.

There are a million people posting comments online suggesting different ways to make it work. No body is a rocket scientist and we all want it to work

Hmmm, didn't they just dump a shitload of debris/scrap metal into the ocean though?

They defiantly thought of this and made a plan to collect the debris and either recycle them or re use. There is no way they would waste millions by letting it just float away. ya feel

Holy shit! I can't believe they did it! The amount of work just to get something that size to take off and land is incredible, and they almost had it!
