Crashed and burned again due to only one of the 2 engines reigniting.


Wouldn't it be better to start all 3 raptor engines and turn off 1 that they don't need?
You won't be able to land on Mars without better landing gear than that. Far to small and unable to cope with ground movement.


And that's what they did this time!
 
That was one hell of an eventful test. Landed upright but with what's called a soft landing as the legs didn't deploy so that's why it ended up with a slight lean.

Must've enjoyed the first flight so much that it tried for another. On to SN11 we go with some great data from this test without a doubt.

Turned it off as it looked ok. Few minutes later it went up. A spectacular explosion. Mr Musk will be choking on his Bong.
