So how does this work?
This thing comes down with rapid speed, a jet/booster/whatever fires in the opposite direction in perfect equilibrium without any side thrusters slowing it down in the perfect orientation to enable it to be “grabbed”??
Reminds me of cartoons where this is “possible” in zero gravity and the hero comes strutting out….but on earth? With gravity? With wind? With violent air currents from the air heated by the rockets..?
….Nah! Fake I reckon!
Each of the boosters moves independently and you can watch them while they do. And there are correcting thrusters toward the top. You can see them fire every so often in most videos of the rockets landing.
This wasn’t an answer to my question though. So in your thinking all of the smaller rockets that have been doing this for years are fake too? What are your thoughts on starlink internet? Is that just fake or are they just lying about how they get them into orbit?
