SpaceX delivers to the International Space Stations but the Falcon 9 rocket doesn’t deliver its landing on a floating landing pad.
Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard. Close, but no cigar this time. Bodes well for the future tho.

What about that cool video of the rocket trying but failing to smoothly back into its parking spot?
Didn’t get good landing/impact video. Pitch dark and foggy. Will piece it together from telemetry and … actual pieces.

But SpaceX is at least helping the US reduce dependence on expensive Russian launches to get goods to the ISS.
