This is pretty cool. They tried to land the booster rocket on a barge so it could be reused. Fuel ran out just a coup,e seconds before landing. It was so close to being a success, but the failure makes for a spectacular video.

Amazing footage. I love how transparent Elon Musk is. They were close here.
