I have been trying figure out ways to rotate/transport the Red Falcon first stage after landing. My best way of doing this so far has failed. I had a really big chain to pull it over once it was secured to a trailer. It blows up

@Chtite451SR2 I tried that. And it almost worked! And then it folded up like mattress and exploded.

@TweedleAerospace I don't use pistons tho
I use droods XD
I use their tethers to move payloads and use my crane ;) -

@TweedleAerospace I have been working on a system too... it is very hard to carefully handle giant rockets... I sort of gave up on manually grabbing the rocket. Now I am trying to land the rocket right on to my transport system by catching it like spacex wants to do with Superheavy. Even after I catch it I would still have to connect a docking port to it to refuel, so my idea (technically spacex’s idea) might not help much in this case at all.

@Chtite451SR2 I think I am just going to have to build something new.

@Arstotzka trust me I tried. I have 15 rotators paired with 15 pistons. That didn’t work. Finally I got a stuctural engineer that I know. That didn’t work. This was my last resort.
@TweedleAerospace Ok
What did you do?
