| [Twitter] Sometimes it's hard to stick a landing |

| #4 For those of us who don't appreciate the twitter format, what happened? Besides the "we didn't land where we wanted to" bit? Did they run out of hydraulic fluid? (Strange thing to ask, but it actually happened to one of their landing attempts before). Control system failure? If so, gross or subtle? Wrong coordinate plugged into the landing computer, or did it run out of delta v or fuel to make it back to the landing pad or boat? |

| #3 (Golf Announcer Voice): "SpaceX has missed the Green and... and... missed the sand trap and... it is in the water hazard. Double Bogie, at least, for this hole!" |

| #1 Tired of "space" journalists acting like typing "stick the landing" makes them rocket engineers. |
