SpaceX lost the Falcon Heavy center core this morning.
Elon Musk's reaction...
ok... probably not really. but it's funny none the less.
Honestly, that flight profile for the center core was nuts; the fact it got as close as it did (on-drone-ship camera caught the fiery splash down) is still pretty impressive. I'm looking forward to reading/seeing more post-failure-analysis.
It's awesome. Vid of side booster successful landing plus last seconds of mid recovery near miss.

aye. I watched the 4 hour vid (skipped through the boring parts) and was like ooo it's gonna make it! then you saw it go boom. you can see the thrust wash right over the deck; I'm wondering if it didn't so an abort to keep from crashing into the ship; aka not enough ΔV to keep from splatting on the deck. damaging the drone ship would be a bad idea. As I said though, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. EM doesn't seem to like to hide these kinds of problems. I mean, there's this awesome video...
This video could not have ended anymore perfectly. Poor kid is going to be scared of frogs forever, though.
