    So it wasn't the SN4 that RUD'd but a tank or something on the ground?

    What I read is that a piece of ground equipment failed/functioned incorrectly/was used wrong which lead to the whole thing going up in a fireball.

    Re the tweet.

    'minor test of a quick disconnect' (Ground support equipment) ... went oops (RUD).

    Methane everywhere hitting hot metal isn't a good idea. Scott Manley explores it in greater depth.

    That is awsome. I like their sense of humor. When the booster core peels away, but gives the main core a little nudge on the way out;

    I know we’ve all seen the booster cam in real time, but the time lapse video really is a cool perspective on how much correction the onboard technology provides to pin the tail on the donkey!

    P.S. love that grid fin glowing!
    P.P.S. Love that narrowly missed landing from the drone ship cam!

    Was it just me, or could you see the shadow of the Falcon 9?

    Was wondering that too, maybe some sort of camera impedance, I can’t imagine that it’d be that consistent with all the variables involved.

    I mean, it's possible that it was blocking the sun enough to cast a shadow. Maybe enough to notice the shadow from the surface, but enough to show up on camera.
