The blast seemed to occur behind a vac Raptor screen right. Re-entry heating looked to have a sealed some of the casing–shoving metal into the bell of that engine’s nozzle.

Of course I hoped the Starship/SH flight would go well but I would not have bet on them hitting all their targets this way. Impressive (and exciting).
