There are many people speculating about today's static fire of Booster 9 so I want to throw in my thoughts too.

The main objectives for this test were the validation of the flame deflector system and the engine systems on Booster 9. (1/11) The good news is that both B9 and stage zero remain intact and as far as I can tell, there‘s no obvious damage. The engines ignited at T - 0 and the static fire was aborted at T + 2.74 s. A total of 4 Raptor 2 engines shut down prematurely. (2/11) Image
