Comparison between SN8 and SN9
Both crashed, so what was the thing that was different in comparing the two? To do this required a closer look at the SN8 video. I looked at SN9 yesterday. As for SN8, the SN8's other engine DID light up. However, it went out just before the crash.
The idea is to shut the second engine down anyway, so it appears that it may have shut down too soon. But the SN9 in comparsion, did not light up at all. They both came down too hot, which indicates not enough thrust being applied to slow down the descent.
Whatever they did to correct, it certainly didn't work.
