Looks like thrust was low on 1 of 3 landing engines. High g landings v sensitive to all engines operating at max.

Life you can talk to is another matter, of course. Many, many orders of magnitude less likely.

@elonmusk · Jun 12, 2016
@seanmcarroll Am concerned that advanced life may be inherently unstable. Arguably, any civ capable of extinguishing itself eventually will.

No way. Look at chemotrophs and extremophiles. Primitive life is bloody everywhere. Highly under the ice on Europa imo.

Not really. Life could just be rare. Probability of life starting could be 10^-100 per planet. We just don’t know. x.com/elonmusk/statu…

Hence the urgency of making life as we know it multiplanetary as soon as possible

Indeed 'keefwivaneff' is a known Tesla troll. Dude is unhinged and/or being compensated - m.flickr.com/#/photos/13637…

@elonmusk · Jun 11, 2016
Yeah, that matches what we've found so far. More likely unhinged than nefarious.

Of greater concern: 37 of 40 suspension complaints to NHTSA were fraudulent, i.e. false location or vehicle identification numbers were used
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jun 10, 2016
Would seem to indicate that one or more people sought to create the false impression of a safety issue where none existed. Q is why?

NHTSA confirmed today that they found no safety concern with the Model S suspension and have no further need for data from us on this matter
