Interesting concept, but as has been said, it has to impact on the lift

If they manage this and can reuse components, then it would be interesting
to see how they perform.

But I sounds like an easy fix.

"Grid fins worked extremely well from hypersonic velocity to subsonic, but
ran out of hydraulic fluid right before landing," Musk wrote on Twitter.

Next flight will have 50% more fluid.

So getting closer!
