Link to the Everyday Astronaut stream (he gets a little loud).

They almost stuck their flip maneuver to land at the end but looks like they lost one engine on the way up and another right at the end for an unscheduled rapid disassembly but still they got impressively close to sticking the landing. Very cool.
It was awesome to watch live today! Sounds like the engines worked properly but there was an issue with fuel pressure.
