    A few words from Jon Edwards, VP of Falcon Launch at SpaceX: https://x.com/edwards345/status/1828885347037786343

    Losing a booster is always sad. Each one of them has a unique history and character. Thankfully this doesn’t happen often, due to the robust design and vigilance of the team.

    We are working as hard as we can to thoroughly understand root cause and get corrective actions in place ASAP. One thing we do know though is this was purely a recovery issue and posed no threat to primary mission or public safety.

    I hope they can get back to launching soon, and wish them the best of luck at catching B1061 (also poised to take its 23rd flight).
