I could watch that all day. In all, that was a pretty amazing test flight. Because of the belly flop, it has a separate tank used for the landing burn. Pressure in this tank was low so engine thrust was below nominal resulting in a sub-optimal touchdown. No leg deploy either but this could be due to a timing issue from coming in too hot or not reaching leg deploy speed until it was already in contact with the ground. Guessing they just need to bleed a little more heat into the header tank to keep pressure up. Should see SN9 fly this month.
