Low header tank pressure causing excess velocity at landing....initial diagnosis by Musk

That is very kool.
I cant wait to see what they can do in 30 years if I'm still here.

The most unbelievable view go to 5:05....looking up at it from the landing site as it maneuvers to land......this is one beautiful spacecraft ....what we are living through is Kitty Hawk cubed......Boca Chica is the new name in aerospace history.

FYI
ISS is moving faster than a speeding bullet.....10X the speed of a rifle bullet actually.

The typical speed of a rifle bullet is around 1,700 mph.

There are quite a few military aircraft that are faster - the F15, for example, can get up to about 1,870 mph.

The astronauts in the ISS - and satellites in low earth orbit - are moving at about 17,500 mph - and the rockets that put them there can move considerably faster than that.

Is it moving or does the earth rotate that fast or a combination? I thought it was stationary?
