So cool to have a person like Elon Musk interacting with total strangers on Twitter about SpaceX Starship.
He admitted it was dumb of them to not light all 3 raptor engines when attempting to land. They only need 2 to land with them throttled. 3 would be beyond the hover point... So they were going for 2.. but with one not lighting it crashed. There plan for SN10 is to start all 3 and shut one off after they see how they restart. Not a whole bunch of time to do all this but certainly will work if no issues beyond 1 engine flameout.
