RE: A Tesla Roadster is going to Mars on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy Rocket
Did you read today's updates?
Sounds like two of the motors on the landing failed.
Center booster had 2 failures and the vehicle missed the drone ship by about 300 feet. Which was fortunate, as it hit the water at 300 plus MPH. When impact happened, shrapnel took out two thrusters on the Drone ship, as well as peppering the ship with fragments. Some other sensors onboard the drone ship were lost, too.
Yes I heard about it a few hours after. Apparently on the live webcast without the commentary it was said "We have lost the center core".
