  That's a novel way to explode.

    It was actually an unscheduled Hopper test.

      "Celebratory backflip" was my favorite descriptor from the NASASpaceflight stream.
  - ceejayoz 6y ago
    Can we count it as a reflight? It got pretty decent airtime.
    - dmix 6y ago
      Almost a 2nd belly flop too.

  I bet they got good telemetry data from something in the upper part of the starship, after it got kicked up into the air, right until it crashed down again.

It's in the stream here, higher res than the twitter video posted below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOQkk3ojNfM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOQkk3ojNfM

  I don't think we can link specific times in a stream that is still going, so if you go to that link, rewind to T+14:30 shown in the top left corner
  - walrus01 6y ago
    Yes that's how I found it, just by dragging the slider until I saw the explosion, then using left/right arrow for more fine gained time index placement.

  Explosion: https://youtu.be/XOQkk3ojNfM?t=38340 https://youtu.be/XOQkk3ojNfM?t=38340 Either not all the landing legs deployed, or it landed too hard and broke them. It looks like it landed on the engine bells. There's a lot less clearance under the Starship on landing than the Falcons. Several landing leg designs came out of Space-X; there's one animation with four folding legs, one with six, and one with legs that extend linearly. Not clear what flew.
