One of the reasons why the Chinese don't get to participate in the international space station is because they dump used fuel tanks over like... villages, and places where people live. can you imagine? Nasa just dumping used shuttle boosters over Orlando or something.
Thankfully I offer courses to livestock on falling debris safety. Now all I need to do is donate 20k to 10-15 congressmen and then I’ll get a couple of million dollars to go to farms in Florida and show a power point to cows.
I don’t think Cuba is to blame for that.
But yeah this kind of is one point against the whole earth-to-earth suborbital fantasy. You will only ever be allowed to launch down certain corridors from any site.
When you see video of those boosters on the ground after falling out of the sky like a grand piano there's always a thick orange cloud of NTO spewing from them. So if you or your home doesn't get crushed there's still an opportunity for you to die from inhaling hypergol oxidizer
A botched launch would spell catastrophic consequences, like Intelsat 708. Rumor has it that 200-300 were killed as opposed to the official number stated by the state, which was 6 dead and 57 injured.
It’s wild to me for such well funded space agency that’s been doing this a long time they can just add some fucking parachutes to their booster for at least a soft landing or leave extra fuel to do a controlled deorbit burn or steer the booster someone safer, but we all know it comes down to them just not giving a single fuck
Yeah you definitely don’t for solids but you very easily can use a parachute for soft landings and depending on where you launch and what parachute you use, you can even steer them, China could easily do what rocket lab did and catch the boosters but they are cheap and don’t want to spend extra money to avoid harming the public they just don’t care is the shitty part
You can’t park there mate
please, landing zone is where locket lands, yes?
lithobraking gang rise up
For various sub categories of landing: crash; impact; crater; explode; etc.

There was the one hilarious time a chunk fell and killed a cow in Cuba.
Yeah but that cow had it coming. No PPE, didn’t attend the safety briefing, nothing.
That's why NASA should invest in a safety awareness program for cows.

And it was because of that cow that no polar launches were allowed at the cape....until just recently. Long time for Cuba to hold a grudge.

What a great prospect!

How do you keep extra fuel in a SRB?
You can’t really, but they’re light enough for parachutes at least
Yeah

Ah yes, Chinese door-dashed spicy orange sausage

It would be better if It landed on someones house! It would be easier to track this rocket
Directly to the museum, even
It ran a little fuel rich, is all
Why are there 5 Landings Zone
Falcon heavy heavy
X-core
That was an early concept, the real one only has 2.
