The Why And Why of Landing Rockets https://www.spacex.com/news/2015/06/24/why-and-how-landing-rockets "That controlled descent was successful, but about 10 seconds before landing, a valve controlling the rocket’s engine power (thrust) temporarily stopped responding to commands as quickly as it should have.
