It’s going to splashdown into a landfill. A trashdown as it were.

I don’t know whether I’m hoping for it to land OK, so they can figure out what’s going on and maybe get them back sooner, or have a fatal issue so that the two stuck for another 6 months or whatever it is can at least feel relief that they didn’t take the chance.

Honestly, it doesn’t sound to me like landing or not landing is going to help either way… the issues causing the delay aren’t going to be impacted much, it’ll be a matter of solving the overheating and teflon deformation issues. Which could be something easy or take a big redesign of the “doghouses” and thrusters, who knows…
it’s not like it’s rocket science…

The Clipper won’t be landing, either, which is good, considering how poorly things went for the Tsien back in 2010.

To be fair, a company that makes high-end clothing to satisfy rich people doesn’t seem like a bad choice when you’re making a suit that needs to look consistent for the media and have considerations for adjustability and motion (plus, lots of fabric pieces to be assembled).
Coulda been a women’s underwear company, though.
