"I want to be really upfront about scary shit that happened... We were one second away from that tripping and telling the rocket to abort and try to crash into the ground next to the tower," the unnamed engineer said.
The engineer explained further, "We wouldn't have predicted the exact right place, but this cover that ripped off was right on top of a bunch of the single point failure valves that must work during the landing burn."
Musk's reaction to the engineer's briefing was simply, "Wow. Yikes." showing his acknowledgment of the risks involved in the recent Starship flight test.
