It lands at 0 m/s. The interstate which hit the water after toppling with the most force got pretty bent, but other than that there’s not really a reason anything would catastrophically fail

They exploded because the tanks ruptured. The previous booster that soft-landed couldn't be recovered and was destroyed.

There's nothing on this rocket any worse than all the expendable rockets that routinely crash into the ocean, and probably less than most.

It couldn't be recovered in time.
SpaceX expected it to blow up and sink, but it didn't. They wanted to tow it back, but the Air Force (or which ever military body in the area) said get it now or we have to destroy it for safety reasons.

Doesn't look too bad. I bet they can refurb it without having to replace too much of it.

Not too surprising.

Manley thinks they have done it accidentally, or even as collateral, when removing the landing leg from that side.
I don't think it'll buff out, but it won't cost too much to replace.

The more I look at this the more likely I think they'll use it for the inflight abort. They've probably got enough old stock still sitting around it'll become a little mishmash of old and new parts which they'll blow up.

Also, that Dodd said that this was the second flight of the new COPV in the second stage, so it's going to be interesting if this counts against or if adding a redundant hydraulic pump resets the launch count for the "frozen" design.

This has been confirmed by Hans Koenigsman, but he's unsure if it does. A NASA rep was asked if it did and they just said it's complicated.

>...or if adding a redundant hydraulic pump resets the launch count for the "frozen" design.

Hans doesn't think so, this is logical because the design freeze allows small reliability and performance improvements, which a backup pump would likely fall under.
