Never expect them to make it fully propulsive landing. I guessed they would use a chute for an initial deceleration after the burn in.

The leather seats are nice touch.

I am not talking about the quality but about the landing leg deployment.

The one leg seems to have deployed rather uncontrolled. It almost looks like it bounced around a bit. Maybe its lock didn’t catch in the down position. Possibly a hydraulic fluid leak or a nitrogen strut failed.

It seems to have finally locked into a down position though just before the engine burn though. Which is good.

Since the other one looked fine I would guess this is repairable or fixable.

Oops, I forgot to thank you for posting the video. It is an amazing sight.

All three links seem to go to the same video. I suspect that you meant for the last two to go to other pages.
