Hahaha... just watched that myself.   Different foil setup, do they have to cope with sonic booms instead of cavitation?

Among the effusive Italians, he is bound to look circumspect.

He’s under riding instructions and firmly on the bridle.

 

[Paddywackery]

And Checco is from the very south of Italy,  where people are warmer and more effusive even compared to the rest of the country.

So he’s doing very well not to piss himself with excitement.

Went a bit American Magic about 5 minutes after landing.

I was joking, there is not a revelation, but something could be interesting.  tomorrow I'll have  a look.

Strider, you need to find something because the revelation must be radical and fuel another 50 posts of consternation. And besides, Max will give you one of those 100 euro Prada goat nose hair stitched Teflon coated water repelling T Shirts    And as a proud Italian you really need to be wearing one to encourage the locals.

I watched them nail the landing, so when I saw your post, I thought WTF?

But yes, they had an unscheduled deconstruction event!

 

[Xlot]

They didn’t purge the engine room: a classic

Looks like standard Tesla build quality...

It was a slightly unsuccessful rapid re-launch attempt.

 

[Sailbydate]

Ps the Prada version of JS is likable, you have to admit it

Tolerable, perhaps. ;-)

SpaceX's term is R.U.D. Rapid, Unscheduled, Disassembly

My impression of Jimmy this cup is he seems very subdued, and is not leading from the front like before. He sounds just like an employee doing a paid job (very well paid and very well done job)

Probably just trying to fit into the team culture.

The alternative is he fucks everyone right the hell off.

You’d want to get off it smartish after crossing the finish line.

Never had a problem with Jimmy. To me he is a consummate pro sportsman. Plays to win without being a complete ass. His behaviour in SF was fine until people started poking him about losing all the time, he poked back without losing his cool.

I think he has bought a good thing to Prada. The real will to win. He is not here to play nice or make friends, he is here to win if at all possible. Makes a nice mix with the effusive Italians. I hope they win, if not I hope it is close.

All care - no responsibility: great gig for him. Be very interesting to see how his coordination with Bruni works under pressure as they've never been put under previously!

Considering his heart rate whilst racing is so low my theory is that can of Red Bull he clutches like a baby’s bottle contains more opiate than sugar and caffeine.

Do they still drug test AC crew.

I wonder if he'll be back after not winning again.
