I'm guessing they knew it was venting methane. I do think it's interesting SpaceX stops their replay after the successful landing but before the explosion.

It also looked like it was listing a bit, maybe less than 5 degrees after landing. That could be an illusion I suppose.

For sure it was leaning. It was on fire for a while too right after landing. It really looked like it did the flip a lil too soon, leaving the single raptor stressed on touchdown. Not sure if it's lil landing legs deployed either.


Helluva testing ground. SN11 is in the hanger waiting.

There were flames quite a while during the landing. Not sure that's planned. Still a heck of an accomplishment to get this far this quick.

I think so. It looked like something was off as soon as it shutdown one of the engines. The video feed I usually watch runs a procedure timeline on the screen ticking off milestones. Today was the first time they checked off "Landing." Then they listed "Safe Vehicle. Then came back and inserted "Or Not." Then "rapid oxidation of unused propellant."

I laughed when the little garden hose started squirting. "Oh, yeah. That's gonna do it."

Was that a bird on fire flying away from the explosion?

Maybe I can get a discount on those Mars tickets now.

Scott Manley did a deep dive, looks like the tank ruptured before it exploded. So likely a heavier landing than desired. It bounced as it touched down... I'll be interested in updates from spacex on the cause though, if they decide to share.

Two weeks, I think.

Nice snippet that puts the size of SN11 into prospective.

People on pad while Sn11 is put into place.

YOu can see the video here. Sorry, couldn't find a youtube version of it for direct link.
