I'd rather see a catch, but a good splash can be fun too.

Now if only it wasn’t leaking and spinning out of control. :doh:

SpaceX is uncharacteristically struggling these days. Curiously it appears to be a string of unrelated failures. Baby steps I guess. :shrug:

It's a new thing. new things take time.
Go back to the early days of spave-c, they had a string of failures and nearly went under before having a successful test launch. Fast forward to learning how to land and re-use the falcon 9 boosters, same thing, before eventually becoming the most reliable booster design ever flown.

This too will pass.

According to a documentary I read on the early days of Space-X, if they didn't have a successful launch on the first attempt that actually worked they would have gone belly up and probably quit trying. At least now it appears Musk can afford the failures, although I'm thinking he's running out of time to meet NASA's goals for a Moon landing.

We’re not a custom to the failures….that happened years ago. Everyone wants instant success….that’s not the way space works. It’s called rocket science for a reason….

Remember this thing is almost as tall….when stacked….as the Washington Monument. It’s huge. There’s still lots to learn here….

I think SpaceX, even if late, will be ready before most of the other parts, like the Lunar Gateway. I wouldn't be surprised if they even do an unmanned landing entirely on their own.

Falcon 1 failed on the first 3 launches.

If the 4th launch had not worked, it likely would have been the end of SpaceX. That was Sep 28, 2008, and unlike the previous 3 launches, no customer wanted to be a payload so they sent a dummy payload.

The 5th (and final) launch of Falcon 1 worked and was the only one to carry a commercial payload.

The Falcon 1 4th and 5th flight second stages are still in orbit. Today, SpaceX saves enough fuel to deorbit the Falcon 9 second stages.

Caused by a fuel leak on a re-used booster. Multiple use hasn't been much in vogue since STS.

May I introduce the Falcon 9? 479 missions with 404 re-flights. It looks like about 60% of all rocket launches in 2024 (worldwide) involved boosters that had flown before.
