SpaceX Has Pinpointed the Problem That Caused the Falcon9 to Crash Land
I still don't understand. Those waffle irons are not needed at low speed. They did grasshopper landing without them right? Or perhaps they interfere if they are present and not working correctly? Either way, why did the rocket hit "hard" as Elon said? Rocket velocity shouldn't have anything to do with the waffles right?I've been thinking someone forgot to include the height of the GPS in some code somewhere, and this whole hydraulic issue while true, is a handy way to not publicly disclose a simple mistake. Don't wanna look like the mars probe that crashed due to unit conversion issues...So really, how does the hydralic issue affect the impact velocity?
