SpaceX: launch, check. Landing? Needs work

Alister

Maybe trying to land on a floating deck which is moving about all over the place - despite thrusters and stabilizers etc - is just a step too far.

Even if the control of the rocket is perfect, you can still end up being smacked in the face by the landing platform.

I know that's not the apparent primary cause of this RUD (lol) but it surely is a factor.
