Yeah the 1st stage hit the nozzle... side-swiped it pretty bad. I'm guessing that's why the 2nd stage nozzle was wobbling around so much. It shouldn't do that normally. Looks like the terminal oscillation was in a exponential decay of stability until the guidance computer simply couldn't keep up with it and Oops... the rocket is out of control!
whoa i never new if it didnt rain the clouds still had it 0.0

maybe if they fired up the flux capacitor and travelled at 88mph they'd travel through time into the future!

Seems like the 1nd stage should follow guiderails until it physically clears the 2nd stage nozzle?

@fallingdownomega Its not 1nd, but 1st, just wanted to point it out.

At T+2:52, 1st stage hit the nozzle, didn't it?

Some seriously terminal oscillation towards the end there. Id be curious to know if it ended in a critical failure or if the anomaly was corrected.

Very cool. Hopefully the second stage anomaly is something easily fixable.

it's pretty impressive to be able to launch an hour after doing a hotfire abort. that's unprecedented. too bad the upper stage didn't go as planned.
