What an explosive result.

Nice, it looked futuristic so I thought it was fake for a second.
Damn, I wonder why. It was leaning but the Tweet I saw didn't say if it fell over. Maybe the hard landing caused it to slowly leak some leftover fuel and it took a while to find a heat source.Oh! It just exploded!

Landing legs need a redesign, but the concept clearly works. It's gonna be fun to see one of these on the Moon in 3-5 years.
Yeah, it looked like CGI at times. Although it is cutting edge technology for some reason it reminds me of really old black and white sci-fi.

Yup. I think it is amazing to watch every attempt get that little bit better. I can't wait for more ambitious flights!

It is quite funny reading various media sources about the landing. I mean some have blatant issues objectively reporting it (looking at "news" like RT), others cannot get past the word "explosion" or "failure" and only part have normal articles noting that this is overall sucess in terms of actually landing the damn thing (thus progress), but that it was not perfect (the boom).
Same shit was on the previous two launches.
I'm seeing those articles as well. It's interesting seeing "scientific" "journalists" reporting on science and space, and not know anything about it. Like you pointed out, sticking the landing is HUGE - major milestone. The explosion is another issue entirely - leaked methane IIRC.

Indeed - success breeds it's own haters.
(i don't understand the "13/10" reference)
