  • Me at a previous workplace.

    -This is a piece of shit, who is the code owner of this module.

    • Ah, it’s me (“inheriting” code ownership when someone left was common)

    • Who did this change

    • Ah, it was me

    • Surely I just made a minor change to this line here, who wrote the function.

    • it was me, it was me all the way down

    Fits the general theme of the thread as it was not giving any trouble for a year before being found.

    Very few things are known. What we do know is that at one point contact was lost with the booster and later it was declared a complete loss.

    I’m not saying it’s impossible that it did an autonomous soft landing in the ocean, but that would surely be mentioned and hopefully even shown.

    Leaving us with the logical conclusion that it had an uncontrolled descent with a hard crash. Whether it fell as one piece of debris or a shower of fragments is of course unknown. A complete loss of telemetry points towards an energetic failure. But it is possible it was a simple comms failure. So maybe I shouldn’t have compared it to the starship fireworks, it might have been intact until it hit the water.
