After
SpaceX successfully blasted three satellites into space early Thursday
morning, the company tried to catch the Falcon 9 rocket's expensive
nosecone, also known as a fairing, on a ship in the Pacific Ocean. The
vessel, named "Mr. Steven," was outfitted with a giant net.
According
to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, the boat missed catching the fairing by "a few
hundred meters," but he thinks there's a simple fix: Bigger parachutes
to better control the parachuting fairing.
