It just blew up! Landing legs didn't deploy so it landed on its body, and fire suppression kicked in, but I guess there was a leak.

- Diederich 6y agoI haven't looked at the replays, but I do believe the landing legs did deploy. They're pretty short and stubby.
- the_duke 6y agoOn one of the unofficial cams (Labpadre) it looked like they deployed but didn't lock in place. But it looks like the engine gave out early. The rocket was way too fast, so the legs probably wouldn't have made much difference.
- NikolaeVarius 6y agoThey did deploy on video, they probably were coming in slightly too fast and at least one crumpled
- baking 6y agoI saw at least three legs deploy normally and one that was stuck partly deployed. Waiting for Scott Manley to give the final verdict. Edit: This video shows six legs deploying, but two failing to latch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNLdDvt6wS0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNLdDvt6wS0
