Today we see people wearing pajamas in public and grown men who don’t know how to tie a necktie.

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.

Yeah, but this is so stylin’!

at least once?

iirc SpaceX announced after the successful landing that they have no idea about the integrity of the stage’s part and are really interested to take a look at the machinery. if I didn’t miss something the general public has no further infos.

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.)
