Comment on SpaceX Falcon 9 booster 'tipped over' into the ocean during landingparent

Comments

I agree an investigation would be warranted if SpaceX missed the landing zone entirely, but in this case they not only landed inside the landing zone, they even managed to land on the ship itself before the booster fell over into the sea. And the landing zone is, much like the dump site for an expendable rocket, cleared of marine traffic ahead of time.

I get you. It’s still a mishap nonetheless that needs and will be investigated by the FAA. Even if it’s a “lite” version.
