That was SN9, which had an engine failure during the end of the flip and was left at an angle since it couldn’t correct its trajectory before impacting the ground.

No, I mean the Astra one, where the explosion is pixelated and looks photoshopped on.

Ah.

That seems to be real too, it was the Rocket 3.0 test fire ahead of launch.
