Yeah they also lost a sea level raptor on the booster towards the end of the accent. That's honestly not a big deal, losing 1/28 engines at a point in the flight when they're already probably throttling down a bunch.

But still, they've got some kinks to work out with the raptor 3.

That said, did you see how much faster it left the launch pad? They've seriously increased the thrust with these new raptors.

These idiots are yelping and cheering in the background while rockets burn billions of taxpayer dollars.

Well it did a simulated landing in the sea. (And then exploded)

We know that was the plan all along and that it landed on target because there was a camera buoy sitting in the ocean waiting to record the landing. Which it did.

Yeah they blew an engine, but that's kinda what redundancy is all about.

Do you know how many times the Saturn V had to make early shutdowns on one of its engines? It's easier to say how many times it didn't have early shutdowns: 0. On every single launch they had to shut off at least 1 engine early as the combustion became unstable; this is just part of the game.
