They recovered the one at Canaveral, guess an ocean catch is a wee bit more tedious....

Musk said one of the landing arms did not lock into place correctly and it collapsed into that side. There is speculation that the fog at launch time contributed to icing problems.

We are back to 'O rings'.

No, because the shuttles blew up over such things...it's a metaphor.

They're about to get the bugs out. They actually stuck the landing...
True story bro !

Compared toe the abysmal crashes of previous sea positioned - platform landing attempts,
on this last occasion one of the leg extensions didn't lock into place. As a result, the
module gave way, fell over resulting in an explosion.

The program is making progress and let us not forget, Space X made a successful land based return not long ago.

This is not looking good for our favorite wabbit.
