  1. Well the initial launch was better. All raptor engines worked and the pad stayed mostly intact. The problems occurred during the hot-staging., the avionics and instruments are directly under the hot-staging ring. They got roasted during staging. This is why super-heavy failed to re-ignite, also the empty super-heavy was losing pressure at this point indicated by the venting. This caused structural failure on the vehicle and the FTS was triggered. Musk and SpaceX stated they hoped they would recover the booster at least. 33 raptors lost at 1 million dollars a piece is a pretty big loss. So in 2 flights they lost 66 million dollars worth of engines alone. This is all taxpayers money, NASA awarded them 1.8 billion dollars to develop Starship and demonstrate its abilities. They are still a long way off from their promises. Artemis Orion and SLS are ready to go on the other hand.
