 rapid unscheduled disassembly - Zero



Been waiting for this video to appear for a while now. Its the Space X falcon 9 returning after delivering supplies to the ISS. The new idea with this flight is to get the launch vehicle to land back on a floating platform for re-use.

Didn't quite go according to plan, with CEO and founder of Space X saying "close but no cigar - we had a RUD incident" - a rapid unscheduled disassembly - That will be a crash then.

Is that similar to 'artistic re-shaping of the back of a bus'? ;>)

Sorry, couldn't resist it.

True, but they've already identified the problem and added more hydraulic fluid to the next one.

Hugely impressive to merely crash on the barge if you ask me!
