minus-squarethreelonmusketeerslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-211 months agoConsensus is that the FTS was triggered. The exact cause is still unknown, but could be due to a LOx leak. The ship was still a few km/s shy of orbital velocity, so it is unlikely that debris made it to orbit. I posted more details (and links) in a comment over in the Starship Development thread on [email protected].
