Sn9 crash pics











Pic analysis


Here's a few pics which may be useful in understanding what happened with the SpaceX's Starship proto-type test done yesterday.

The first is at 3 minutes and 7 secs into the YouTube video referenced in this post. It shows one engine lit up, but another one is supposed to be. Closer examination shows that the other engines appears to be lighting up, but failing.

The second is just before impact at 3 min and 9 secs. I heard no explosion here at this point.

However in the next pic, there's an explosion heard, but that is BEFORE the Starship hit the ground. The explanation for that one cannot be determined from looking at this video. At least not by me.

The Starship is a little off vertical before it hit.
