Some screencaps of the #Starship 13 test flight, more in the thread https://bsky.app/profile/cosmos4u.bsky.social/post/3mrgigiliy22r - the Starship itself has performed flawlessly so far, deploying 20 doomed Starlink satellites and relighting an engine, but the booster lit only 5 instead of 13 engines and crashed harder into the Gulf of Mexico than planned.
