During/before the water landing of Ship, the telemetry indication for the rocket motors stayed off.

Does that mean the landing burn was unsuccessful? Or was that just a glitch in the telemetry?



In the video you can see the engines light (reflecting off the metal control flap and water) and the ship make a soft touchdown on the water. It then tips over and the tanks pop from the force of smacking the water sideways.

So the landing burn seems to have been a success.


It's weird, that happened last time too so you'd think if it was a glitch they would have fixed it.
