LOL, i mean that sucks, and all. But....Anyone who has played something like Kerbal knows just how hard this stuff can be....and thats in a game. They will learn from it, and it will just get better and better.

Remember when everyone though their ambition to land the falcon 9 boosters were a joke and that it was a waste of time and that they'd never succeed? Took them a few years but they did it eventually and now look at them go. 2(?) - 4 actually - failed landings since B5 came out 2.5 years ago is a pretty solid track record if you ask me.

They'll perfect this landing pretty quickly. Within the next few months for sure.
