Really missing to be able to turn on the rear window heater from the Tesla-app. Would be great in cold and snowy Norway. @elonmusk fix this?

Should mention that Tesla Motors itself had nothing to do with the short movie. This was completely independent.

I didn't take anyone's car and never would. Car was actually allocated to engineering test (not by me) and inadvertently sold.

My best guess for 2016: ~70% landing success rate (so still a few more RUDs to go), then hopefully improving to ~90% in 2017

Impressive launch and @SpaceX will soon make Falcon 9 landings routine – so good for space! Kudos SpaceX!

Falcon lands on droneship, but the lockout collet doesn't latch on one the four legs, causing it…

Stage 1 would reach low Earth orbit if not hefting a second stage, but payload would be greatly reduced.

@elonmusk I thought today's landing was at sea because you didn't get FAA approval in time? Apparently that's not the case
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jan 17, 2016
Actually, didn't get environmental approval in time, but it was also good practice for missions where a ship is needed.

Ship landings are not needed for flexibility or to save fuel costs. Just not physically possible to return to launch site
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jan 17, 2016
If speed at stage separation > ~6000 km/hr. With a ship, no need to zero out lateral velocity, so can stage at up to ~9000 km/h.

As mentioned before, ship landings are needed for high velocity missions. Altitude & distance don't mean much for orbit. All about speed.

@elonmusk ++ over previous sea landing! Is the leg locking system a simple passive "latch", or something more complex?

Well, at least the pieces were bigger this time! Won't be last RUD, but am optimistic about upcoming ship landing.

Why is the fire so big?
@Uncle_Gus · Jan 17, 2016
@elonmusk Does that mean the same thing would have happened on land?
