    SpaceX Starship - IFT-3 - Starbase TX - Launch Thread and Post Launch Discussion

    It was a test flight so not "fundamental". Ship has lost it's attitude control and so had no way to survive reentry.

    I think point where Grid fins lost their effectiveness there should have been thirteen Raptors firing and providing all TVC needed.

    SpaceX Starship - IFT-3 - Starbase TX - Launch Thread and Post Launch Discussion

    Falcons need to vent only the LOX boil off, when Starship needs to do that for the both propellants (also scale). But I have seen Falcon's second stage fly-over my own eyes and that thing vented like no other...

    SpaceX Starship - IFT-3 - Starbase TX - Launch Thread and Post Launch Discussion

    Good test flight. I would say that the ship did not maintain good attitude control after the raptor shutdown, which likely led to the decision not to proceed with the restart test and contributed to the failure during re-entry. I blame (humorously) Everyday Astronaut for that... ; P
