naw they remembered autostrut thats why it stayed together with the kerbal flips

[@albertnewton8296]

The "wobbling" effect comes from rolling shutter, I think. If the vehicle were actually shaking that much it wouldn't have lasted nearly as long as it did.

[@pastaya]

spacex forgot the ksp rule called “you can never have enough struts”

[@oneistar6661]

Excellent takeoff and Max Q. I believe there wasn't enough gimbal authority due to loss of engines to compensate the rearward CoG. Every time I put front canards on rocket in RSS the effect is the same. Move that COP down man. edit: Actually the flip might be a part of stage separation. Either way stage separation didn't went well and they aborted or the upper case.

[@joge2]

the spin is was maybe by the alerons

[@finnwillekes45]

it needs to flip to boost back to earth to land (which wasn't the plan for the test but it should have splashed in the water) but then this happened

Kinda looks like fuel is venting from the rocket. The lox and methane levels aren't balanced, and there's definitely some other flames coming off of vapor trails coming from the booster. To say nothing of the engines popping and sputtering. Stage 0 needs work, it seems.

[@a_Train611]

Sadly the second stage failed to seporate

[@DeadBaron]

I hope they can find why several engines kept failing. Seems odd for it to be by design, they're asymmetrical. Once it reached the thinner atmosphere and had lost so much mass from burning fuel, this seems to be what caused the spin and they couldn't separate the second stage. I wonder if there's a safety protocol that doesn't allow it to separate until the rotation has stopped.

[@Slacker_eepy]

I could’ve sworn the spin was a planned maneuver for separation. Listen to the SpaceX announcers voice when the spin happens on the live stream. You can hear them say “beginning to flip for stage separation”

[@222cubing8]

@@Slacker_eepy it’s meant to tilt over forwards, not sideways

[@Slacker_eepy]

@@222cubing8 oh, ok that makes more sense. It’s hard to tell when the feed looks a bit off in the video.

the engine failures might be because of the debris that was shot up from the 33 engines’ force against the ground below the olm. this debris was probably going at insane speeds and some of it most likely hit some of the engines, leading to their individual failure

the fucking screen snip zoom in nah bruh

[@FatovMikhail]

so in reality they didn't roll it on start, it was already positioned with tiles upwards. maybe cold air it goes throw at subsonic speed helps to cool down propellant. but then they did a roll before stage separation and it set more engines on fire, that sent it into an uncontrollable spin. maybe they gimbal too much and touched each other. then they just let the remaining oxygen to burn and terminated the flight

[@FatovMikhail]

hm... no, just watched NSF and it was flying with tiles down, so there was no reason to roll before staging. it probably was unintended roll
