Part of a SpaceX rocket washes up on Scilly

The rockets don't land in one piece. They get destroyed by the high impact. Airbags wouldn't work.
I think this is from the CRS-3 launch, where they tried to re-land it, but unfortunately tipped into the sea and was lost in big seas.

Have you any idea what the natural occurrence of chromate in the ocean is?

(Neither do I, But there is going to be pretty massive quantities of, pretty well everything, in every cubic mile of sea water)

banned being disposed of in that way, because it is toxic to aquatic life.

we're launching hundreds a year now.




cause its clearly obvious in all the pictures of them being constructed....





why rofl? that's who we lift entire ships for slavage floating an old aluminium tube wouldn't be a massive difficulty.

thing that's funny is if this was someone taking out old ships, or planes, or any other scrap you'd be against it.

whack space on it and you're all in favour of fly tipping.


make them have to recover their waste and it will improve the push for reusable rockets.

:rolleyes: really, that's what I would think is it? You're absolutely wrong there, as I'm not an idiot.
You clearly have no understanding (or more likely a troll) you can't Just fish them out with an air bag, again rofl. SpaceX is doing all it can to make reusability, with the established industry called it impossible, yet they are know so close.

ANYWAY, back to the little investigation, I think we've worked it out to come from CRS-4 launch, September 2014
 
TBF crap like end up offering a great place for marine life to thrive. Not saying we should dump it everywhere but it wouldn't be the end of the world if it was left in the briney deep.

Go on a fishing charter trip and they will take from wreck to wreck because the fishing is good, easy, offers variety and reliable.
