It's also incredible that it can withstand having burn through like that.

In the past when things start to go it was almost always catastrophic

Maybe I’m mistaken but I thought they just moved them up on this version of Starship.

Yeah that's part of the problem.

When the Boeings and Lockheeds are getting lapped by SpaceX while getting billions in NASA corporate welfare bigger questions start to appear.

The burn worked perfectly, slowed down and then they burned her up and sent her to the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

Amazing they got a buoy cam like that to capture video.
