https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2023/04/21/this-might-explain-why-starships-flight-only-lasted-four-minutes-n545483Yesterday I wrote about the first launch of Space X’s Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built. There was one particular clip which seemed to show a bunch of debris flying at the camera as the rocket was lifting off.
(snip)
I mentioned that is appeared the rocket itself might be scouring out the ground beneath it, sending those chunks flying in every direction. Today there’s lots more evidence that is what happened. To start, check out this video which may be from the same spot as the one above. But in this one we get a much wider angle including a car which was parked nearby. You can see the car getting pounded with debris.

With chunks of steel and concrete flying around under the rocket at liftoff, it seems possible some of it could have bounced upward and damaged those engines. There are even some folks claiming this might be the reason the stage separation failed.
