@melvingags@MarcusHouse That view quite literally shows that it was stable the entire way down, the spin happens after the engines gimbal pointing to it being intentional
@bbanzai44@bobross_jay@thunderf00t I don’t think you realise how Starship could easily get into orbit if they wanted to, yet what’s the point? They need to prove out the reusability model first and the only way they can do that is by focusing on re-entry.
@IrrefutableV@KristinFisher They don’t care what happens once it lands, it blowing up is expected as the ship (once it’s simulated the tower catch manoeuvre) just naturally flops over after the engines have shutdown naturally causing structural failure
@outofwritings@JoeTegtmeyer We don't know if it was the hydraulic actuator that was the issue, could be a multitude of things preventing retraction. Hydraulics are realiable.
