@mcrs987 I would guess that they just can't go that slow when in gear. So instead of going in and out of gear constantly (or changing propellor pitch) they just zig zag to place less mechanical wear on the propulsion system.
@JoeTegtmeyer@SpaceX SpaceX need Joe Tegtmeyer on the controls of the landing zone drone. But, to be fair, this drone is probably operated remotely from 100's of km away leading to choppy response.
@davefanning I must have been asleep as I never realised that you did the 6-8pm Saturday slot on @RTEGold. I grew up listening to you back in the day. It's nice to hear you again. Love from Buckinghamshire, UK.
@Space_Time3 Here’s a question for you, Felix. Was the 2nd engine that failed to fire the “twin” of the one SpaceX switched off? Was this automatic to balance the thrust?
