While you’re watching SpaceX send rockets into space over and over again, it can be easy to forget that the company is really still just a startup. As such, it’s still working out the kinks in its operations, and one of the kinks it just can’t seem to iron out is its repeated failures to catch and reuse a portion of their rocket called the fairing.
The fairing is a piece that forms the nosecone of the rocket, and it’s not particularly cheap. SpaceX boss Elon Musk is determined to figure out a way to catch the nosecone before it slams into the ocean so that it can be reused at a later date, but in a newly-published video it’s clear that SpaceX has once again come up short.
