They improved it and it worked flawlessly on the second flight.                     For the Superheavy booster, yes - or so it seems from the big bang       observed. But it seems that the Starship's payload bay and nose-cone       survived the second-stage FTS activation, although separated from the       tank and engine sections. Video was captured from the Florida Keys:       https://youtu.be/56r_twDliOc?t=847. Whether this is an FTS failure       depends on what SpaceX wanted to happen. At least propulsion was       terminated, even if a big chunk of the ship was left flying.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
