It appears that Starship did not terminate in the planned corridor, which is a major FAA violation and could cause a longer delay before Flight 8 (aircraft had to be diverted, etc) It's not just that ship 33 failed, it's the fact that the flight termination system didn't even do its job correctly :/ https://x.com/mcrs987/status/1880042280163373515

yea definitely. it couldn't have just been a quick rotation either, all that energy had to get going in the wrong direction, so it must have been off for a bit

they got this press release out QUICK "Starship flew within its designated launch corridor – as all U.S. launches do to safeguard the public both on the ground, on water and in the air. Any surviving pieces of debris would have fallen into the designated hazard area." https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-7
