Space Exploration megathread
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Sure. Just don't think you can call this a win. It could have been worse, as DaFace pointed out.

Yeah, it looks like it. The re-entry burn was over by the time the malfunction took place, right?

I think you missed the "at that point" part. Once it's out of control, safety becomes the priority. Obviously they aren't happy with the loss of a booster, but Elon once estimated they could get 70-80% back, and they're way above that.

I wonder if that was planned? An abort out to sea instead of land.

At least partially, yes. Both at land and at sea, the booster comes down aiming just a little off of the landing site, then kicks over at the last minute if everything looks good. That's what happened with the FH center core.
