SpaceX releases new video of Falcon 9 launch and landing

Neckties are overrated. And they act as tools for throttling blood flow into the brain - which explains a lot of necktie-wearer behavior.

I’d say, good riddance.

It’s my understanding that this hardware isn’t intended for re-use.

They’ll examine it to see if it would be worthy of another flight, but regardless of the results, it will serve as a much-cherished trophy.

you sure that they don’t take it apart to look at the components? The “trophy” part is totally believable, though. Spacex made a huge break-through and the stage will make a nice landmark in front of the head quarter.

I’m sure they will. In fact I bet the teardown will be very comprehensive.

(Which will lead to comprehensive rebuilding after, as well.)
