But it was not always so. Success was preceded by years of testing that have not always ended well. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, published in Instagram video called “How not to land an orbital rocket booster”, which contains unsuccessful launches of Falcon 9 rockets.
“Like a rocket? She’s all right?” — asks Elon Musk in one of the fragments of the video, looking at the pile of rubble left over from the Falcon 9.
Rocket fun burning, explode in the air and landing to the music of Monty Python. In the video you can see fragments of failed launches of the Falcon 9, which took place from September 2013. In minute video fit hard landing on the surface of the ocean, the first “soft” landing on water, the explosion of the Falcon 9 due to engine failure, the rocket, which broke into pieces after overturned during landing, and more.
“The story of how the Falcon 9 reusable launch vehicle orbital class, managed, finally, to land successfully and not fall to pieces”, gives a heat, the head of SpaceX in the comments to the video.
To treat his own mistakes with humor and publish this video will not every Manager of a large company, but SpaceX was unable to adequately assess not only their success, but defeat.
