However, that was not what prevented it being good. Touchdown speed was ok, but a leg lockout didn't latch, so it tipped over after landing.

Definitely harder to land on a ship. Similar to an aircraft carrier vs land: much smaller target area, that's also translating & rotating.

Conducted hold-down firing of returned Falcon rocket. Data looks good overall, but engine 9 showed thrust fluctuations.

Maybe some debris ingestion. Engine data looks ok. Will borescope tonight. This is one of the outer engines.

Aiming to launch this weekend and (hopefully) land on our droneship. Ship landings needed for high velocity missions

Sad to hear that David Bowie died. He was amazing.

In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land & not blocked by borders, eg you're in LA and the car is in NY

Tap your phone or key and your car will open the garage door, exit, close the door and come to you. Will do same in reverse for unsummon.
