A SpaceX rocket booster was ruined after toppling over in rough waters

 

Things just seem to keep happening to SpaceHex. You'd think the brand had been cursed or something. 

If you believe he lands boosters in rough seas, nope. Most of what appears as live footage is fake cgi. Still, they need their props and they lost this prop.

SpaceX is down a rocket booster after a Christmas snafu.

One of its Falcon 9 boosters, B1058, tipped over after landing on its drone ship while being transported back to Cape Canaveral, Florida, according to SpaceX. The booster, an older model that lacked some of the auto-stabilization leg features, fell over due to rough rough waters and turbulent winds, the company said.

Wind and turbulent waters can make landing more difficult, SpaceX’s VP of launch, Kiko Dontchev, wrote on X.

“Tippy boosters occur when you get a certain set of landing conditions that lead to the legs having uneven loading,” Dontchev wrote. “Heavy wind or sea state then cause the booster to teeter and slide which can lead to even worse leg loading.”
