Thread: RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly)

Just came across the video of SpaceX's rocket crash on the barge:

I reckon they have done well to get this far, & with more fuel next time they should have a successful landing!

But I did like the new acronym RUD, I have had a couple of vehicles with RUD

Agreed. Just hitting the barge is a pretty good effort, let alone be able to re-use the rocket. It's a pretty ambitious target.
(Much like my landings)
