An extra-slowed down and cropped view Ship 36's RUD tonight. 📺: 📸: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

@NASASpaceflight Just unreal footage. Hate that it exists, but, nice work capturing the moment.

@NASASpaceflight slight zoom enhance

@BocaChicaGal @NASASpaceflight It looks like liquid methane burst into the payload bay before rupturing the Ship's exterior, does anybody know why it first ruptured the Ship out of that one point?

@NASASpaceflight Ridiculous footage. Looks like the nosecone attempted to be a spare fuel tank there for a bit, but wasnt qualified.

@NASASpaceflight you can see the fucking skin of the vehicle get torn thats fucking insane

@NASASpaceflight Crack in structure below flaps on heat shield side. Images taken from DWise insane slow motion video. Thank you for sharing.

@NASASpaceflight Hey. Payload door finally opened.

@NASASpaceflight Looks like it ignited well after it burst, some kind of pressure failure. Seems super unlikely at this stage of development.

One thing I've always wondered.. during apollo and the shuttle nasa was always hesitant to transport the ship. The movement during transport often created its own set of problems. Even during the artemis launch, nasa had to consider the impacts of returning the ship to the vab. Starship seems to be in a constant state of transport. Any thoughts on the transport causing structural issues?

@DJSnM @NASASpaceflight This isn’t easy Stuff! Happy no injuries!
