I've stopped taking Mr. Fattie seriously when he said that "metal tools are the tools of the devil." Good luck with that retarded sentiment in any Century. I'm sure "not having metal tools" worked so well with the Aztecs, when they were fighting the Spanish."they run the thruster till after they land? i assumed they ploped the last bit down, surprising it doesnt damage anything"
Falcon 9 does a hoverslam landing instead of a hovering landing like New Glenn and Starship does. Because the minimum thrust of its single Merlin engine is still greater than the weight of the booster.
So the landing burn must be precisely timed to coincide with the height of the barge's deck. Too early, and the Falcon 9 booster will start rising up again until all fuel is burned. Too late, and the booster crashes into the deck. There are emergency crumple zones in the legs, to mitigate the landing, if the booster lands too hard.
The barge uses cooling water sprays to mitigate noise and heat, and boosters land at different spots on the barge. Land landings use hardened landing pads.
