Apparently, Musk termed it as "a minor setback." A rocket blowing up mid-flight for the SECOND time in a row is minor, alright. Here's hoping Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore return safely.

The booster did land. The starship crashed because it lost the engines due to leaks. This variant is longer and they where testing new heat tiles and intentionally removing tiles in many places.

Even the earlier obsolete variants it took them SN15 variant of the starships to get the landing right. Which was the 12th flight, since serial 12,13,14 where scrapped.

The next version may even get raptor 3 engine.

This failures are nothing compared to the amount of tries it took them to get the falcon landing right.
