Yeah, if you look at it carefully, it fully-on tilts horizontal at the last second and pushes itself away from the drone ship. Wonder if that was a planned abort sequence to save the ship or if something went wrong with the landing sequence itself.

Regarding the failed landing of the center core:
In a follow-up, he says that the booster most likely aborted at the last second to save the ship. So we may have found the edge of what is really possible for the FH center core recovery. |

Hey, I actually have some non-SpaceX news to report in this thread! Boeing is gonna test their abort system in a week.
It'll be broadcast starting at 7am EST next Tuesday (7/2) if anyone is interested. Hopefully all goes well - I'd love to see a manned launch this year regardless of whether Boeing or SpaceX gets there first. |

Yet I don't read about it until after the fact. Hope they didn't spend much on the campaign. |

Pretty cool. It's amazing that things like this were nothing more than science fiction not too long ago. |
