Last month, Space X attempted to land a Falcon 9 on the barge. Due to the type of launch, it was one of the most difficult landings attempted. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a successful landing this time. In a Tweet, Elon Musk said that the rocket used up its onboard oxygen fuel supply just prior to touchdown. Elon posted a video of the failed landing:
