@nta may be able to help, but the computer shut the engines down at 0.1 seconds as they were igniting. Seemed from comms that some parameters were out of range. Damn site cheaper to shut down than launch and explode
Just highlights quite how poorly engineered the Shuttle was, with solid fuel boosters ... once they get going , that's it you're on your way

... and it sounds like 25 minutes away from another launch attempt. The SpaceX channel is below - live stream apparently starting up in about 15 minutes

Under 2km and then whooshka!
The fins don't look quite right, but significant progress

THUMP. Fuck that hit hard.
Lots of flame.Does not look 100% successful but better than previous
Amazing they landed it. Great progress, we are in the future.
I'd call that a pass too, given what they are trying to achieve and nobody has done this before.

i guess as a really hi level, if that was carrying people they would have been able to get out by now i would think so a great step forward
would have thought they would have got in their to prop it up but maybe just too heavy and they are just waiting for it to fall?
