A lot of people keep telling me they think deploying the landing legs on CRS-16 was the main factor in stopping spin.
Doing the math based on @elonmusk telling us legs weight less than Tesla S suggests leg deployment would have changed rotation speed by 25%, probably less.

Was the landing burn a 1 engine or 3 engines one ? Are they still doing 3 engines landing burns ?
It looks like a single engine burn from the videos.. I imagine that a 3 engine burn would have regained control very quickly.
