I wonder whether doing a catch without the catcher (rapid scheduled crash landing) would be feasible. Data is data.


That is what happened. It performs the maneuvers at a primary target site with no catcher, or terrain, or ground-based feedback; the Gulf; switching to an alternate site; the launch tower; if and only if all factors allow for a real catch.

This is one of those cases where technically correct is not the best kind of correct.

Not all data is useful.

A billion rows of sensor output is data but without a timestamp it’s useless. Maybe you need more or less resolution, or additional dimensions.


If the duty cycle is stable enough, you can reconstruct the timestamps in many cases based on the data. ;-)


“If” is doing a lot of work there.
