Elon Musk Releases Supercut of SpaceX Rocket Explosions (hardocp.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the failure-is-the-first-step-to-success dept.

Eloking shares a report from HardOCP: Elon Musk is demonstrating how one should not land an orbital rocket booster: the video, currently trending on YouTube, is essentially a blooper reel of SpaceX rocket tests that went explosive. While the company has more or less perfected launching Falcon 9 rockets, it is still working hard on recovering as much of the multi-million-dollar system as possible.

    All three, really. Great timing and unusual sounds to match with events, changes in feel to match to seams, and it was never a serious piece of music. And Monty Python references always make people smile.

  2. Not rocket tests - landing tests by Gavagai80 · · Score: 4, Informative

    There are failed landing attempts, not rocket tests. There's a big difference. All of the primary missions of these flights succeeded.
