I spoke for a few minutes a little while ago with John Carmack after Armadillo brought Pixel back to the staging area. The vehicle landed with two legs on the pad and two off the pad, which caused it to tip over. Carmack said the problem is with a sluggish control system that makes it hard for him to steer the vehicle directly over the pad for landing. The vehicle is undamaged and they plan to essentially dust it off and try again in a window that will open around 12:45 pm MDT.
