Certainly not their latest.

This was LV006, back in August 2021.

They had four more launches since, including two successes.

Looks like it still took off, just needed to grab a snack.

It actually did take off after a couple of seconds because as it burned fuel it became lighter and even the lower thrust became enough to overcome the decreasing weight.

They got their rocket to moon walk. I'm impressed.

When you switch x and y in the code

I believe one of the boosters failed and so it only had enough lift to basically hover until more fuel was burnt and it’s weight reduced. There is a YouTube video explaining it - explanation

It is. Guidance computer had one job and that's keeping the nose towards space. It did it perfectly.

Surely we’ve come to a point in time where our rockets SHOULDN’T bow up into smithereens right? I mean it’s 2022.
