I knew it was spinning, but not that much. Can't wait to hear the final report on what happened there.
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.
He suggested using hot gas thrusters on the ship which seem to have failed.
