A Falcon 9 booster can't hover. So it falls, then stops at zero. I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to rebuild this landing from the physics up: real Vandenberg terrain, real Merlin numbers, every burn computed. About 6 hours, roughly $59 in API cost. Light the burn late and watch. http://airsup.ai/lab/falcon-landing
