Wonder how much toxic waste that rocket dumped everywhere.
Most rockets crash into the ocean with all their contents on purpose. This one flew 23 times before finally shitting the bed on this landing.
That's impressive, I do wonder if they have some estimated lifespan for each rocket or how many times it's reusable. Unless they intend to just keep using it with minimal to no maintenance at all. Which I guess would eventually lead to this.
Iirc the original goal was ‘at least 10’ but maybe up to 100 flights for a booster. No way to really know without flying them a lot
