“[Falcon 9] Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard. Close, but no cigar this time”

On Saturday, January 10, SpaceX launched its fifth official mission to resupply the ISS. The launch was successful: the Dragon cargo capsule is expected to reach the ISS in two days.

However, the rocket landed hard on the drone ship, damaging some of the equipment on the ship. Telemetry data analysis will tell us more… it was too dark and foggy to get a video.
