Wow it looks to be in much better condition than I thought

[MissingTools]

First and Only real close-up view I have seen. Warping of bells not as bad as I expected. Thanks Gazer

[vernonlemoignan]

This thing is pure gold for space x engineers to pour over. knowing what worked well, what needs upgrading and what is close to failure is priceless data. I bet there are plenty of surprises hidden in that booster. Learning this things secrets will save space x billions and get us to mars sooner.

Considering the engine bay glowed hot on descent it looks good to me, dust it off and send it up again.

I am REALLY impressed at how well that whole engine bay held up... The dang thing was glowing bright orange from the intense heating and yet they STILL started up and gimbled that ungainly skyscraper sized piece of steel to an almost perfect landing. And just LOOK!! You legit could probably just launch the thing again without doing anything. Hell, the numbers didn't even burn off!!

2:19 Easter Egg found, I love the SpaceX humor because engine number 314 equates to pie.😅

[DeepSpaceIndustriesLOL]

Despite the warping the engines nozzles look to be in pretty good shape honestly

[DavidBarlier_Davk]

Wow . I'm surprised by the resilience of the booster. amazing. Thank you Starship gazer

[sly]

this proves when you build something solid, it lasts. WELL DONE SPACE - X.

[BlackThunderRC]

I mean its not ready to fly again but its looking way better than I expected !

[AnupomAG]

One small step closer to full resusability

[gregsteele]

Got to love the pie slice painted around engine 314 ;)

[Sam_Saraguy]

Wow, it looks great considering what it has been through. I only saw three or four engine bells that were maybe a bit off round. Thanks so much for the great video.

[farmerpete]

The raptor numbers and labels not burnt off? Truely amazing!

[joshuadrop]

You never fail to get that amazing shot!

[KerbalsandWackMacs]

Definitely slightly warped, but honestly not too bad. Good thing it’s an easy fix. Thanks for the awesome coverage!

[The-Mattman]

looks in good condition, considering the smoke that was coming out afterwards, Thanks Starship Gazer

[corrinastanley]

Thanks for the close ups views. Much appreciated.

[frankyates]

200% better than I thought. Elon, you magnificent bastard!
