Elon Musk’s first attempt to land a SpaceX stage 1 rocket booster on to a boat didn’t go so well. Here is a video

The problem was the hypersonic fins (the things that steer the landing rocket) ran out of hydraulic fluid so it couldn’t manoeuvre properly.
But you know what, for a first attempt to actually hit the thing is impressive, especially with out steering for the last part.
All I can say is that Elon Musk is a visionary, he doesn’t fear failure, but learns from it so the next attempt can go better.
I am waiting for the day to see him succeed with a landing, this will be one of those events where it changes space flight forever.
I tip my hat to you sir, onwards and upwards.
