Damn. Just missed SN10. Seems to have had landing motor issues. Again. Still amazing to see that altitude.

SN10 is futher away than it looks...
Slo-mo analysis by the side-of-the-road rocket geeks (Tim Dodd, and the crew at NASASpaceFlight) looks like one of two engines failed to relight. Two unidentified "pieces" came off about when it was supposed to relight.

A couple weeks of failure analysis, clean up, and pressure testing SN10 (and any tweaks needed for 10 and 11), and they'll try again.

I noticed the failure to fire right away — easy to see beginning at T+6:20. I didn’t noticed the parts coming off, though.

The come out of the skirt, and go upward (well, they fall slower, looking like they go up... you know what I mean...). Some camera angles, it's clearer than others. They glint from one side, not from another.
