Just watching the Spacex latest flight.
The big booster was scheduled to attempt a catch by the tower at the end of the flight but something went wrong in the last minute or two and they diverted to simulate a tower catch but over the ocean not far from the beach.
But something I’ve not seen before was the booster itself imploded as the propellant tanks ran out. The pumps in the engines must be so good they sucked the atmosphere out of the interior.
The damaged rocket then fell into the ocean and was on fire for a few minutes but was floating quite well otherwise.
