How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster



You know that technological breakthroughs only come after a series of failures. The main thing is that you learn from your failures and move on. Elon Musk's company SpaceX has had its share of spectacular failures, every one of which was highly publicized and enshrined on YouTube. That's the way of the world today. Since there's no reason to shy away from their failures, even if they could, SpaceX has released a compilation of their duds, crashes, and explosions on the way to achieving private space flight. Just imagine how many millions of dollars went into these clips. Look closely, and you'll see that their successes are included, too. (via Gizmodo)
