Wonder how much toxic waste that rocket dumped everywhere.
Most rockets crash into the ocean with all their contents on purpose. This one flew 23 times before finally shitting the bed on this landing.
That's impressive, I do wonder if they have some estimated lifespan for each rocket or how many times it's reusable. Unless they intend to just keep using it with minimal to no maintenance at all. Which I guess would eventually lead to this.
Yea the previous goal was 10 flights, now the goal is send it until something breaks.
Big advantage of having a built in customer (starlink)
