I was amazed it was attempted in rough seas!

 

[Deja_Vu]

It was impressive seeing the waves breaking all around the barge while this thing nailed the landing. :thumbsup

Makes me want to quit working on drones and get back into rocket engines.

I have always wanted to work on drones.

I'm currently a project manager for the composites department.

Why not just land on land ?

 

[Backlash]

Maybe safer on the water if there was some form of malfunction?? IDK. But pretty damn cool either way!!!!

Orbital trajectories and stuff like that I imagine.

We did that already. I believe it has to do with FAA clearance

With so many launches in Florida, over the ocean, it makes sense that something dropping from the sky will also be over water.

Very cool. I've been thinking about giving up on working on helicopters and switching to working on drones or uav's. Maybe I need to look into rockets!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup
