At today's launch the first stage experienced a RUD upon landing..

I saw that today....sucked. I was hoping today would be #5 but I read that one of the engines wasn't producing enough thrust at landing.

Yep, the big Man himself tweeted that. I hope they publish the videos from the 'landing'.

Not trying to necrobump this but did anyone see the CSR 10 launch today? I had to watch a repeat on youtube but it was so amazing to watch, when the booster separated from stage 2 it had me gasping of how beautiful it was. Plus the landing through the clouds was awesome!

For those interested here is the whole hosted webcast:

Say SpaceX aloud.

You just said space sex.

Smart branding.

No, you just said "spay-sex", which is just disturbing...
