    Did they try putting it in rice?

    if you'd said to me 15 years ago that in 15 years time it will be possible to land a rocket backwards onto a platform in the sea using automated thrust, I'd have told you to seek professional help. Give them a break

    Even though the first stage landing "failed", it was a wild success in showing how to gracefully recover. They will learn so much from this event. Just wonderful!

    Follow up video here: “What keeps everyone safe when a rocket fails?” We talk about why the Falcon 9 didn’t crash over land. Lots of your follow up questions answered here! Check it out! “What keeps everyone safe when rockets fail? Why did the failed Falcon 9 rocket land in the ocean?”

    When a failure to land a rocket stage is news, they're doing pretty well.

    Good video, but realtalk: we all know why the falcon failed...Musk himself just wanted to check how fast the Everyday Astronaut makes a video about the failure. I think he's your biggest fan.

    The fact that this thing tried to land, and managed to have such an incredibly controlled landing even with a failed hydraulic pump for the fins is a testament to the engineers and software developers at SpaceX. That first stage did its very best and almost stuck the landing despite the disability. This is yet another reason why SpaceX is defining the cutting edge of rocket technology. I have every confidence that they will make good on their plans for Starship.

    Why is nobody asking the real question? Why didn't Superman step in when the rocket lost control? What the hell are we PAYING the guy for?

    It'd gotten quite dirty on that reentry burn so it just wanted to take a little bath, that's it. Tried to do a flip as well.

    If they re-fly this they should call it "Sully"

    Can't land on water, because water isn't land.

    i'm so happy that i've found an excellent explanation on what exactly happened with Falcon 9 as the feed was cut immediately without knowing anything. i already clicked the subscribe button if that matters lol.
