SpaceX Falcon 9 water landing

Cool video from today’s SpaceX launch. The first stage had a hydraulic failure that sent it into a spin on descent. From out of control to a soft water landing. Nice!

Engines stabilized rocket spin just in time, enabling an intact landing in water! Ships en route to rescue Falcon. https://t.co/O3h8eCgGJ7
