bad feeling about it.. that was a hell of alot of smoke..

Yeah it looked like it was standing fine, but that fire seemed large and the video didn't cut back in.

Probably fell over and exploded.

EDT: yup exploded. loss of signal.

where do you get the info on explosion,   replay clips show an object standing upright, you can see the straight line of the core.

I think it caught on fire and burnt up. LOS is the official part.

[Legend]

Landing video will be posted when we gain access to cameras on the droneship later today. Maybe hardest impact to date. Droneship still ok.

New paper claims that the EM Drive doesn't defy Newton's 3rd law after all - ScienceAlert

id paste some of the article but im on my phone lol  thoughts ?

[Legend]

It's fine if the em drive breaks it imo. It's just unlikely such a simple device would be the first time we observe the law failing.


Also spacex released a gif of the rocket landing.
