Why catch a rocket when you can just land it?
Physics YouTuber explains the high-stakes engineering behind SpaceX’s “Mechazilla” catch system. As a rocket descends, its engines become less efficient due to air resistance, often forcing them to shut off just before touchdown; causing the vehicle to literally fall out of the sky.
By ditching heavy, unreliable landing legs for a precision mid-air catch, SpaceX can save weight and increase reliability, turning a "catastrophic fall" into a perfectly timed capture.

@joey_hann @queenof99lol Lol if there is a specification that doesn’t allow deviation then there’s probably some engineered reason for it.
My assumption is some sort of natural frequency & resonance reasons if you can’t trim the lengths on these rebars.
Idk I’m no civil engineer though.

@Sxerrgio @queenof99lol I feel like an armchair fan watching my team struggle. I want the coach to put me in the game. “I’ll figure it out coach”.
Thank you for sharing.

@joey_hann @queenof99lol Idk might have to do with resonance or something like that.

@queenof99lol That my friends shows you the difference between the desk bound engineers who design structures and the construction workers that actually have to make those designs work in the field. No, many engineers are too arrogant to take suggestions from field workers.

@LagerthaMuadDib @ReturnOfKappy Lmfao. Salt water is more corrosive than the atmosphere & space. Probably had hardware not protected with anti corrosive properties.

Funny how they had to wash off the capsule to remove the "salt water" because it could "hurt the sensitive equipment to release the hatch".
Uhhh - a capsule that just flew through space the the atmosphere is potentially harmed by .... salt water.
Oh my - I guess once you wake up, it's all just so obvious.

@fauxfresh Yea if everybody did that we’d have bones, peels, shit, etc. everywhere. Gotta have some decorum or else everyone will follow suit. Especially if you’re a famous person with influence.
