As I said yesterday, I never saw wreckage fly so beautifully.
Booster landing video is out:
Looks like there was a buoy waiting, good sign for accuracy.

I wonder if that fireball was related to the engine out.
Superheavy engines blow up, catches fire, lands anyway.
Starship vaporizes parts of its TPS and flaps on reentry, lands anyway.
Should name the stack the Honey Badger. Nice to see some launch capability that is fault tolerant. Hopefully that tolerance gets better and better with every iteration.
On the one hand, seems they've finally worked out isolating exploding engines from the rest. On the other hand, they want to get rid of the shielding, soooo gotta work on the non-exploding part.
It seems there was also a private jet circling the ship's landing zone, wonder if they caught anything (at least anything shareable).

Some engineer is probably trying to figure out how to use exploding engines for thrust. If they want to send fuel to orbit then they need to use the engines as reaction mass.
