@elonmusk Congratulations! How many engines are lit for landing? Can you differentially throttle for more degrees of control?
Looks like Falcon landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landingpic.twitter.com/eJWzN6KSJa

@elonmusk Is it possible to have the barge moving in the same lateral direction as the rocket to reduce the delta between the two? -
@davemccall@elonmusk I don't think hitting a moving target is going to make for the easiest solve. -
@mmeyers1976 You mean like docking with a space station travelling at 7.66 km/s? I'm pretty sure SpaceX has that sort of thing down. -
@davemccall haha touché. But perhaps a small lateral thruster or different trajectory on descent would be easier? I'm no rocket scientist. -
@mmeyers1976 Nor I. It was truly a question on my part. -
@davemccall but who knows. There's a reason@elonmusk is a billionaire and we aren't :).

@elonmusk looks like one of the legs broke on inpact, that's why it tipped over. Why nobody talking about the legs breakingThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Undo
