SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the engines still may be salvageable.
A booster from SpaceX's Falcon Heavy Rocket may have survived space, but it toppled over after landing on a platform out at sea,"Over the weekend, due to rough sea conditions, SpaceX's recovery team was unable to secure the center core booster for its return trip to Port Canaveral," SpaceX told the Verge in a statement.. All of the boosters returned to Earth safely after the rocket's flight.
"As conditions worsened with eight to ten-foot swells, the booster began to shift and ultimately was unable to remain upright. While we had hoped to bring the booster back intact, the safety of our team always takes precedence. We do not expect future missions to be impacted," SpaceX said.This isn't the first time the sea has claimed a SpaceX rocket.
that the attachment fixtures on the booster were slightly different to the standard Falcon 9 booster, so the octagrabber could not be readied in time. Musk added that the engines might be salvageable.
