You left out the part where it exploded before even truly gaining height. Why would you do that.
I wouldn’t call 100+ km no height
Edit: looks like it got to about 150km in altitude and about 25k km/h
You hurt my brain with this kkm/h… I hate you. :)
Not sure where you got that impression from. The booster apparently worked flawlessly during ascent, with all 33 engines working until stage separation. Only 30s into the boostback burn, the AFTS triggered after several engines shut down prematurely. The second stage was deployed successfully, and completed most of its burn, before being lost only around half a minute before scheduled (sub)orbit insertion, around 3km/h short of the required velocity.
