Looks like two Raptors re-lit. Was that the plan or three?

Did it even have legs to land on?

DaFace 12-09-2020 05:09 PM

ROFL I think Elon is excited.

It did. They're little tiny things that fold out from under the apron. Not sure if they deployed or not though.

It looks like it didn't make it *quite* back to the pad for the RUD.

Can you imagine being inside that thing for the flip!? It was a lot faster than I thought it would be.
