The earth stabilized video of the re-entry also gives a better idea of what was happening. (i.imgur.com)

Reaction control thrusters didn't work. Blame it all on the Everyday Astronaut.

Why would we blame that on him?

Because, if i remember right, he's the one who suggested the modification to the system on a tour with Elon.

Specifically he asked if they were only using hot gas thrusters on the booster, and I guess Elon thought why not use them for both.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

He suggested using hot gas thrusters on the ship which seem to have failed.
