It wasn’t a failed landing it landed just fine, the gear collapsed after landing, this was its 27th landing so wear and tear considering the abuse these rockets receive
My gut tells me Elon is sabotaging these Falcon9 mishaps to delay having to launch Starlinks biggest competitor in a couple weeks, AST Spacemobile. It will certainly overshadow Starlinks/T-Mobile soon to be direct to cell service
Boeing marooned two people on the ISS and the FAA does jack squat. SpaceX rocket breaks a landing gear after successfully landing, SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE FLEET 😂
yeah I smell a HUGE fish here. don't ground boeing carrying PEOPLE but ground the company that has a crazy good track-record for SELF landing rockets....yeah sure.
The FAA cannot regulate Starliner as its problems affect crew safety, not public safety (and the FAA is responsible for public safety of vehicles launching or reentering).
@@YancyKin the part people are in splash down not land. Also this booster was rated for 10 landings and 5 human Launches... This was space X pushing their booster for their own satilites
It would be one thing if SpaceX had only achieves a couple of dozen of successful launches per failure. However, before this incident, Spacex had accomplished nearly 250 CONSECUTIVE successful landings. More faith should be put in the company to resolve this issue internally before government intervention.
How many companies can successfully land a rocket? It's not a common feat, so I question why the FAA is "grounding" after just one failed landing, especially following so many innovative and successful ones.
Landing a rocket isn’t a requirement normally they just fall into the ocean, this one did land just fine the gear collapsed after landing, this was its 27th time landing. Recovery isn’t necessary it just saves money to be able to use them again
Any explanation as to why the flights are grounded, vs just a prohibition on land recovery of the booster for now? In the past SpaceX has flaunted FAA rules and industry norms, so maybe the FAA is concerned about something beyond this incident?
It's just that the FAA requires an investigation whenever there's a mishap, and this definitely fits the definition of a mishap (they planned to land the vehicle and it was lost). The FAA isn't going to make assumptions about what failed. SpaceX quickly determined it wasn't something that could affect public safety, requested a determination from the FAA saying so, and got approval earlier today.
The only reason the current administration hasn't shut down SpaceX completely based on Elon's politics is it's the only American ride to space. Those fascists are seething to shut him down.
This guy is very uninformed. They were never scheduled to launch tonight. And the grounding has not impacted the delay yet. Polaris Dawn was originally supposed to launch August 27th and was delayed froma helium leak on ground support equipment. Then they were going to launch on August 28th, but the weather in the landing zone was too rough. The next launch opportunity was August 31st, not tonight August 29th. The grounding is only expected to last a couple of days.
@@spicyapplesauce1868 It is so political - they don't want a Trump supporter to look down at our planet from 1000 miles away. All these headlines. They will OK it after the elections just before being fired.
Wait . . It happened in the ocean! They have safety measures in place so there are no other boats near the platform. And Polaris was delayed once for helium leak, 2nd time for weather. This is why I don't watch the news. Can't get simple $#%! correct. 🙄😒
You don't really understand how NASA works do you? Nasa gives out contracts, doesn't produce its own vehicles. You prefer Boeing or the Russians? SpaceX is kind of the only game in town at the moment, with a 99% delivery success rate, and a 98% landing success rate..
