SpaceX's Latest Successful Mission Ends With A Failed Landing

[Valin]

Feb. 17 2020

SpaceX have been launching Starlink satellite groups every few weeks and while todays launch was once again successful, the booster was lost after it made a soft landing in the water next to the barge. There's no official word on what went wrong, but we can speculate based on the information we have.

Update: I have heard from multiple sources confirmation that the fairing were not recovered, and that the booster has broken in half after falling over, so we're not sure what will ultimately be recovered.
