Upright falls over on landing

The upright rocket, landed bang on the button and then one of its legs collapsed and it fell into the sea.
They are bound to have minor glitches till it becomes perfect.

I agree - everything seemed to work except one little component

Re: Upright falls over on landing

Speaking from a layman’s point of view Arthur, on a billion pound piece of kit like that, you would think the legs would be well checked out seeing that it lands on it’s legs, I’d say whoever is responsible for that blunder will be landing on their head --- outside the door.

You could be right Jem, but if you watch the launch a lot of heat is generated in that area, it figures this could weaken a leg, My guess eventually when the project is near completion so arms will come in to grab the rocket.
