Probably a pretty easy diagnosis and fix for these guys.

Really amazing what they are doing.

Low fuel pressure= oxygen rich = burned the copper that’s why it was green at the end aka. It was the tuners fault! still dam impressive for their first big attempt

Even though she Wile E. Coyote'd the landing the rest of the launch/ test was VERY successful.
So many maneuvers and pieces/systems being used in controlled flight (specifically the decent and guidance portion) for the very first time and they all worked, it just cratered right there in the middle of the pad.

2 hours?! Musk funding the next launch with YouTube clicks?!

Props on his "failure is progress" build a bunch see what works approach. Watched an interesting tech video recently where they explained why he's making so quick progress vs NASA. I and many would pissed if this was tax money. He gets to use the ol test and revise method.

the bellyflop thing was simply amazing to see.

high touchdown velocity - so thats the fancy way of saying "we crashed the ****er"

Gotta break some eggs.....

Thanks! That was a amazing video to watch. And having those three camera views added to the sheer amazement. That's something we never got to see with a NASA launch. Wow!
