The engine cut was so sudden. I was honestly expecting a more dramatic failure, but still awesome to see reusable rockets steadily becoming the norm.
More dramatic?! There was music and everything...
Dramatic like a fireball rising up from the crash, not the drama created by the camera and music.
Might have been an uncommanded/incorrectly-commanded engine shutdown, or some sort of sensor issue or control system integration bug
Article says incorrect altitude measurement caused premature engine cutoff.
Reading the article before posting?
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
