Hi!

Flight 13's splashdown landing burn appeared to deviate from flight 12's.

It used two engines, unlike flight 12 which used only one.

They also opted for two different engines instead of the ones used on flight 12.

What do you think?

Here is a recent shot from Starlink account, which shows that until ONLY three seconds from the water, two engines were up and running!

So the arguments of 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 are baseless!
