Still thinking about that projectile spiralling back into the barrel, I went off to watch how these Falcon chappies do it.
They did this yesterday.
Flash in the pan?
I went back to see how they coped on June 3rd, when I was younger than I am today.
Yesterday was picture-perfect. Altitude of zero and speed of zero.
June 3rd? Not so good. Altitude zero but landing speed of about 18,040 Km/Hour.
I must go back to the drawing board ...
Cheers
Chris
