Need a little work on that landing.

That looked immensely stable mid-air. Such a shame that the flip went a little too far and some apparatus was lost, leading to impact.
Still remains incredibly impressive given the insane strain this vehicle has to endure. They are so, so close - But that flip is mindbendingly difficult to perform on such large hardware. Impressive!

Looked like only 1 engine on relight.

It looks like it is hard to relaunch the raptors after they were in the belly position.
Looks like a pressure problem, but they fixed it on the Falcon 9 so I guess they will fix it here too.

Am I wrong or is this was somewhat bigger imapct than previous attempt? I mean it might be hard to tell due to camera angle, but damn. Wonder how that N1 USSR rocket must have been, I know it was biggest not nuclear explosion, but it's still shocking to see for mere human.

I have clocked up around 60 hours on Kerbal and all those hours just ends up as this exact landing
I need to get out more.
Rapid iteration and live testing are how SpaceX develops rockets. They embrace the fiery finale rather than fearing it.

PSA, the Raptor engine is brand new tech that both America and the former Soviets had attempted to crack for over 60 years. There will likely be dozens of exploded SN prototypes, and hundreds of flawless tests afterwards before a commercial payload is authorized, much more human flight.
This is flight 2.
