Damn. I missed it.
So cool how the after Stage 1 separation the spent rocket falls away, then goes vertical, then descends. Stuck the landing, but too hard. "We falcon punched the barge." Can't wait for that footage.

EDIT: Looks like it's a few degrees off? Maybe 10? |

It was swinging quite a bit coming into the barge. Gotta get that stabilized. |

Better quality + explosion.
If you turn on high res, you can see the thrusters at the top trying to keep it upright. Just not quite. Last edited by DaFace; 04-15-2015 at 04:40 PM.. |

I took an advanced College Physics course. We had to plot a trajectory and landing on the moon. This was pre-internet so there was no cheating. Those landings are so damn hard to do because of weight/mass/height and trying to keep the center.
