> The vacuum engines are NOT on a gimbal. None of them

I said some raptor engines are on a gimbal, not vacuum engines.

To be precise, the three central engines can gimbal up to 15 degrees. That can control the thrust vectoring when an engine fails, and that’s what happens in the last flight.

Since the flight already happened and we know it didn’t spin out of control (unless you imply their diagnostic and telemetry was completely off and the engine was actually on) something must have compensated for the failure. It wasn’t magic, it was in fact the central 3 engines that did that.

You may be confused because those are called sea level engines, but that doesn’t mean they can’t work in vacuum.
