SpaceX Builds Largest Reusable Booster, Also Makes Door That Won't Open - Starship Flight 9 Recap

Scott Manley is someone who fell into YouTube because he felt a deep compelling need to teach people orbital mechanics and rocket science so they could play Kerbal Space Program, now, years later the gaming videos are less important and the pure science is the main thrust. My degrees are all in Physics and Astronomy, so much of the rocket science and engineering I've learned is self taught, always learning, always teaching. I used to do this as a hobby, along with my day job in software development, but that recently came to an end and I'm really appreciating everyone who has chosen to support my work through Patreon.

Video Description
Flight 9 wasn't a success, but it wasn't an outright failure. Superheavy becomes the second rocket design to reuse a propulsively landed booster, and while the booster wasn't expected to fly again it did complete its mission. The Starship upper stage became the first V2 to reach its planned orbit, but unfortunately lost attitude control due to propellent leaks and the door to the starlink deployment system failed to open. Instead we watched in real time as the spacecraft tumbled through reentry to its destruction.
