Oh no they lost the ship after the booster landed! Seems like they lost an engine, then I saw fire around the rear flap hinges in the last images before they cut out, and then the telemetry showed more engines shutting down until it froze. During ascent I also noticed a panel near the front fins that seemed to be loose and flapping. Probably not related but who knows. Edit: Here's a video of the aftermath. Strangely beautiful. https://x.com/deankolson87/status/1880026759133032662 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> fire around the rear flap hinges I believe it's pretty hard to have a fire at that altitude. You need a leak of both methane and oxygen, and an ignition source. I wonder if perhaps one of the engines split open and the exhaust wasn't going into the engine bell? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
