Boost back engines cut off 30 seconds early — the launch speed itself seemed slower than previous flights so I’m guessing they didn’t have enough fuel to complete a safe catch. We’ll find out shortly the reason why. Great launch though and looking forward to the SS reentry. They are going to stress the heck out of it so it may not come in fully intact.

When they made mention of what they’re planning on doing to Starship on the way back down, It makes me wonder if any part of it’s going to reach the ground.
