In this episode we will be reviewing the historic Starship Integrated Flight Test. This will be an extremely in depth look into the design flaw that caused the failure of the pad under the Orbital Launch Mount.

We will also explain the water cooled blast surface that SpaceX is in the process of installing and examine all of the other protective measures that will work together to enable rapid reusability in the future.
