Space X Falcon Launch

I'm hoping there's video of the center core that didn't make the landing. Apparently it hit the water 100m away from the drone ship at 300mph. The shrapnel took out two engines on the drone ship. I bet that was spectacular to see.

 

 

The stage only missed the boat by about the length of a football field, but the force of its water impact was enough to "take out" two engines on the drone ship and spray it with debris.

 

On the bright side, SpaceX never intended to reuse the first Falcon Heavy “center core” stage, or the two that did land successfully, Musk said.

 

 

 

And he hopes to share footage of the crash landing,

 

“We got the footage,” he said. “If the cameras didn’t get blown up as well, then we’ll put that out for a blooper reel.”
