Almost a complete failure except for second ever caught first stage...

BTW they first tested a redesigned version of Starship today.

Booster works, we've seen that before. No satellites deployment, no new heat shield test. Separation works. But that's it.

Now the 'funniest' thing, this piece falls back where the ships are waiting. I hope it will miss this time too.

The ships are on the other side of the planet, near Australia. They’ll be fine.

Didn't expect it to disintegrate completely. At least they figured out what happened. Well, one step at a time. But that means no orbital flight for next couple of missions.
