Falcon Fail

Hi Guys,
I started with this one today and jeej, it's ready. The idea came from an article in Wired about why it is so hard to land a rocket. As you might know the SpaceX crashed a Falcon 9 on a barge last week. It's a twist on Lunar Lander but way harder.

Here is the article: http://www.wired.com/2015/01/difficult-land-rocket/

    Wow, extremely difficult!

  • LumpAppsLumpApps Member Posts: 2,881

    Yes ;) I got 4. something as fastest. You can also use the left and right half of the screen by the way. I build it in for later publishing.

    @Socks, clearly photoshopped a herculean effort.

    How did I gloss over the wired.com URL? Going back to read the article now. :)

    Dang you! I've been playing this when I should be working (don't tell anyone!)! Worst part? Haven't yet landed!

    Shortcut for play is spacebar ;)

  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273

    So after many tries, I finally got it! Dang man, are you trying to make me reject my social life? I cannot tell you how many times I landed on the dang thing but slid off. Why u make it so hardddd.

  • LumpAppsLumpApps Member Posts: 2,881

    This is a secret app to see if you are fit to work for spaceX. That is why.
