JMichaelAntoniewicz2
Per Elon, it ran out of ignition fluid so only 1 of 3 landing engines started, splashing down at ~300mph next to OCISLY
Ironreaper091
Too be honest the other two cores from what I understand, were already reused cores, so for them to land perfectly is amazing-
Even with losing the central core, it's pretty damn amazing that we got two used ones to land perfectly.

EccentricNimoy
Platform of shame?
This is going to sound really stupid, how important was it to save the central core? Was I meant to land like the boosters?
TheFunkyCodingMonkey
It didn't have enough fuel to reignite all of the engines and was lost.
Not 100% clued up on the launch :(
this1is1my1imgur1username
It was meant to land calmly; the fact that it did not just means that SpaceX doesn't have it all figured out yet.
spacecatexplorer
It was meant to land yes, only reason it's important is because its designed to be reused, so having it land too would be 100% success
minipancho94
It's just cost saving. The boosters alone reduce the cost immensely. Saving the core would make space vacations a legit possiblity someday.
It was meant to land out on a drone ship in the ocean. It's not the highest priority but if it was lost they need to know why and fix it
spicysenor
Confirmed lost.
FuzzyX
The core did not have enough fuel left & reentered too quickly crashing into the sea near the drone ship killing two drone ship engines.
ImHereToPissPeopleOff
It was lost, but since this was a maiden voyage and it didn’t blow up spectacularly, it is a major major success
spotinthesky
Said 2 of 3 engines didn’t fire and it hit the water going 300 mph...
710FPS
Ran out of propellant from what Elon just said, hit the water/drone ship too fast. There should be footage at some point.
AbigailLongbottom
No. Elon said two engines failed to ignite, not that it didn’t have propellant.
Well, two engines could fail to reignite if they lack propellant. So we'll just have to wait for more details.

Unconfirmed reports that it did not make it, audio heard "we lost the centre core"

I thought they were referring to the live feed but I haven't heard any news otherwise so it's quite possible
brakiachi
That's what I thought. The launch director seemed way too happy for it to be a loss
mirhagk
The twin boosters landed was impressive enough. And none if the Landers are critical, they are all for cost savings
It's possible it meant to the live feed, but at the moment it seems unsure seems nothing else has been said about it, guess we gotta wait
Could just be waiting for the excitement to die down to announce some unfortunate news. But either way the whole launch was amazing
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
It's been confirmed. Two of the three engines failed to ignite for reentry and the core hit the water at 300mph. Still amazing

It was meant to land out on a drone ship in the ocean. It's not the highest priority but if it was lost they need to know why and fix it

Confirmed lost.

The core did not have enough fuel left & reentered too quickly crashing into the sea near the drone ship killing two drone ship engines.

It was lost, but since this was a maiden voyage and it didn’t blow up spectacularly, it is a major major success

Said 2 of 3 engines didn’t fire and it hit the water going 300 mph...

Ran out of propellant from what Elon just said, hit the water/drone ship too fast. There should be footage at some point.
AbigailLongbottom
No. Elon said two engines failed to ignite, not that it didn’t have propellant.
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
Well, two engines could fail to reignite if they lack propellant. So we'll just have to wait for more details.

I'm watching the press conference right now. He said it about like 5 min before I commented.

Unconfirmed reports that it did not make it, audio heard "we lost the centre core"

I thought they were referring to the live feed but I haven't heard any news otherwise so it's quite possible
brakiachi
That's what I thought. The launch director seemed way too happy for it to be a loss
mirhagk
The twin boosters landed was impressive enough. And none if the Landers are critical, they are all for cost savings
spacecatexplorer
It's possible it meant to the live feed, but at the moment it seems unsure seems nothing else has been said about it, guess we gotta wait
randomthoughtswhilebrowsingimgur
Could just be waiting for the excitement to die down to announce some unfortunate news. But either way the whole launch was amazing
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
It's been confirmed. Two of the three engines failed to ignite for reentry and the core hit the water at 300mph. Still amazing
Dayrest
Do you have a source for that?

When I asked that, Elon musks twitter, and the spaceX website didn't say anything about it.

I fucking clicked the link.
