maniacdevnull posted:Many pages later, but the amount of fuel needed to land softly is fairly small because the rocket would be nearly empty at that point. If I recall, they only relight the center engine (of 9) for the descent and landing. granted, but if the issue with nose cone parachutes is slamming in the ground engine side first there has to be a way to balance the placement of the parachute so anything else hits instead it's not like manipulating the orientation of rockets is a new thing  thread related funny computer
