"I bet they needed that."
As others have noted, SN10 is standing by. Somewhat uncomfortably close by: https://i.imgur.com/F9rsBbD.png https://i.imgur.com/F9rsBbD.png
It's so exciting to be a spectator of these events.
- _Microft 6y agoSN10, wenplop? The debris does not seem to come from next to the failing rocket engine but from the outer wall next to the engine that was not used in the landing attempt. It appears first shortly before the clock shows 6:21.
- Florin_Andrei 6y ago> SN10 is standing by. Somewhat uncomfortably close by That was my immediate comment at the end. Pretty confident they are.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 6y agoThis was my thought even before launch. SN9 could explode on the pad.
- emteycz 6y agoI though they pump it with fuel shortly before start?
- nickik 6y agoNot sure why you got downvoted. When talking about 'explode on the pad' it usually refers a rocket blowing up right when the engines lights up before it lifts off. Or alternatively during fuelling, SpaceX had that issue during Amos-6.
- emteycz 6y agoOh! I thought SN9 referred to the other rocket and imagined something like a chain explosion after the 'landing'... Thanks!
- caminocorner 6y agoThey're definitely going to need to inspect it for damage, but it does seem odd not to be THAT close
