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

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.

    "unscheduled rapid disassembly" love it.

    seeing the final two successful landings is really poignant after seeing all the failures.
