If any of the engines has a TWR above one when landing, even at it's lowest setting, i can't help but wonder why don't they use a smaller engine which can be more effectively used to land.

I'm sure theres a perfectly good reason for this, there's a reason SpaceX has its reputation, but i'm curious as to why.

Any info on how much damage the barge took from that explosion?

Nice catch!

Seems kinda hacky, instead of investing the time & money needed for full reusability, they'll do a fraction of the work and hope for a successful helicopter recovery, which seems kinda hard. I know they tried a capture like that with some probe and it failed. I can't figure out it that's brilliant or stupid.

I'm kinda surprised that we haven't seen a price decrease, since AWS keeps reducing prices. I can understand they wanting to decrease the 'freeloaders', but it seems shortsighted, those people are their future paying customers. Their new pricing makes it more economical to just get a small droplet from digitalocean, i'm surprised they chose to be above that point.

So, in this scenario, losing the device (phone, tablet, computer) will mean losing access to the account right? It is coupled to device ID or some cookie right?

Yes, but in Mars you're ,in theory, prepared to live and maybe thrive in that harsh enviroment, and it might actually help earth population to know how to survive an enviromental disaster. Short term, i agree it makes little sense to try to colonize other planet, but looking at it as a long term survival of the species type of affair, it makes a lot of sense.

Does someone have a high level overview of how this works? The only route in is through signing up and i don't want to hand over my CC# just to see what's this about.
