If you showed me this video 5 years ago, you couldn't convince me it was real, let alone a shot our team could capture. So proud of the Everyday Astronaut / @considercosmos team for continuing to up our game every launch to capture these historic moments @SpaceX @elonmusk

Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity. Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we will add fire suppression to that volume and probably increase vent area. Nothing so far suggests pushing next launch past next month.
