Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting analysis of what was going on. ...and why it was a success.



Basically... not enough fuel pressure in the reserve tank to nail the landing.

im sure the math involved in mind numbing. getting to space is about having just enough fuel to get your weight to space. the more weight the more fuel, the more fuel the more weight, its like a looping paradox.

i can imagine that just a one or two minor inefficacy's on launch and it would seal the deal on posable landing.

What a rocket booster looks like after 10 trips into orbit:

B1051 is the first in Space's fleet to hit 10 flights, a milestone that the company has been working towards since it debuted its upgraded Falcon 9 in 2018.

Yes, but did they it fly in the rain?
