SpaceX keeps releasing new videos of the recent Starship flight test with the most recent addition being a video of the booster. Here we get a close-up tracking shot as the booster ignites specific engines to initially slow it and then eventually enter a hover, before dropping into the water.
Notably, this booster was reused and had previously flown on Flight 8 back in March. It was caught by the tower, refurbished and upgraded, and then tested and readied for the most recent launch. Here I will go more in-depth into the new video, why SpaceX lit specific Raptor engines during its landing, the state of the booster, and more.
