I went to the stream late and saw a big explosion! What happened?

Something definitely broke and flew off on re-light. That aside, maybe they should start the flip a little higher up? Altitude is life...

Insprucker says that the plan was to relight two Raptors to flip then land on one?

Yep. My understanding is that two raptors flip the Starship, then one cuts out and the remaining one is used for landing. Because it couldn't flip fast enough on one engine, the landing thrust from the one that did work wasn't vertical enough to slow it properly.

Whoa. I'm not staying up all night for it, but this is a cool milestone. Two launches a mile apart on the same day.
