What Has SpaceX Done Now?

A Tweet came out from SpacePadre at the location SpaceX South Texas Launch Site. Did we miss the news about a technologically significant experiment? It looks like the spaceship is spinning out of control. What has Elon Musk done now? Watch the video.

Well, that de-escalated quickly. And adorably. But it caught a lot of folks off guard.

There was a SpaceX launch on Saturday, when the Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida. People who follow such things were ready for news of its return.

It turns out that SpacePadre is the account of South Padre Surf Company. They do like to draw attention to their lovely island. The SpaceX launch facility is in Boca Chica, Texas, across the bay from South Padre Island. -via Fark ​
