Why did the front of the ship fall off?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It got overstressed.

[–] historicaldocuments@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that very typical?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably. Being a rocket is very stressful.

[–] historicaldocuments@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about the other ones?

[–] hereiamagain@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some are built so the front doesn't fall off at all!

Wasn’t this built so the front wouldn’t fall off?

I honestly just want to see them do the Long March 10 capture again. It seems like the whole world is coming up with booster reuse technology and it's happening fast.
