It did the spicy thing: hot staging.

"Do you think first stage pressurisation issues? Seemed to lose engines during the flip."

I think you right after looking at the engine status during shutdown and restart after the flip.

Another shot of today's Starship launch. I'm still at a loss for words. What an incredible launch, and to take place at such a beautiful time of day... wow, wow, wow.

Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting second integrated flight test of Starship!

Starship successfully lifted off under the power of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy Booster and made it through stage separation.

‍The booster experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly shortly after stage separation while Starship's engines fired for several minutes on its way to space.

With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today’s test will help us improve Starship’s reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multiplanetary

If the Starship self-destruct mechanism indeed took place when it was about to shut off its engines, then this should be the approximate area where it disintegrated

A mishap occurred during the SpaceX Starship OFT-2 launch from Boca Chica, Texas, on Saturday, Nov. 18. The anomaly resulted in a loss of the vehicle. No injuries or public property damage have been reported.

The FAA will oversee SpaceX's mishap investigation into the second Starship flight test, as expected, with no injuries or public property damage reported.

Now that we have seen a proper 1st stage burn with B9. How the hell did B7 fly? That was so broken
