00:00The broadcast switched back to split screen and the booster stabilized itself even without
00:08propulsion. The plan had always called for a soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico not a tower catch
00:14but instead of a soft one it was now facing a hard splashdown. But about five and a half minutes
00:20after launch the booster hits the denser layers of the atmosphere noticeable from the vibration
00:27of the engine nozzles. Impressive how the booster's low center of gravity and the grid fins alone are
00:34enough to keep it properly oriented on its way back. After six minutes and ten seconds the booster
00:40tried to reignite its engines again. That didn't work. There was another explosion in the engine bay
00:46and at around six minutes and 21 seconds the booster slammed into the water at over 1450 kilometers per
00:55hour. Seconds later the telemetry showed that one of the engines was still firing.
01:02According to SpaceX some engines ignited but not successfully. We'll probably only get more
01:08precise details before the next flight.
