Unfortunately it's time to start working on another FAA anomaly report
But if there is no significant damage to the ground support equipment... the time before the next launch should be much shorter
The reason fish & wildlife was so interested in this launch was the new deluge system... if no big changes are needed to that then F&W won't have much to look at before the next

Wow....that was awesome display of human achievement.

There's lots of upset Tesla financial news editors this morning.

They definitely have a lot of work to do on the booster's guidance control for the return to pad flight
NSF had a shot of the separation and the booster immediately started to flip after separation... had no control at all even with the system trying hard to get it back right
FTS activation was definitely needed for booster

How far down range did the starship (second stage) go? May have terminated if even slightly off course due to Cuber.

Interesting. I thought that flip was expected.

Pic of all raptor engines firing. Awesome shite

That flip was proper in conjunction with all the animations of the flight path.
Before FTS Activation it seemed like there was a fire from the engine bay when I think it was trying to be re-lit. I also noticed on launch either some tiles came off as there was this weird fire streak that was not a Raptor.

They were nearly at SECO (second engine cut off)... it had to be a good ways down range

Anyone got a replay link?

1 of the changes with the hot staging is that not all engines are turned off on booster at separation... some engines remain lit as booster immediately goes into the boost back burn
As the NSF guys now say... for Starship... MECO doesn't mean 'main engine cutoff'... it means 'most engines cutoff'

The link in the OP... just search to when the clock in the top left corner says 7 AM

In regards to this... maybe not being a rocket scientist hurts... but I was looking at the puffs of gas used for guidance control and 1 was continually firing and making no headway turning the booster

Best way to know for sure is to watch Falcon 9 seperations. It's almost the same maneuver.
Stage 1 flips, does a entry burn, lands on pad or drone ship.
Edit: Also if you watch Space X stream they have a 2D Axis of how the booster was pointing. Looked pretty nominal until that fire happened.

There are already tankers at the checkpoint to refill the tanks

Those 33 Raptor engines firing are a sight to behold for sure

Yeah Booster was trying to be re-lit before RTS.
