The video feed cut out at about T+5 minutes though, at least on my
machine. Hopefully that doesn't indicate an unplanned rapid disassembly.

This looks bad. There was some oscillation during second stage
operation before I lost video feed. Reports are that telemetry was
lost. I'd say it's a bust.

However, they got this far and no doubt learned some lessons, and
showed a surprising system robustness in being able to recycle for
launch on short order.

We'll have to wait for data analysis to determine what went wrong
with the second stage; guidance platform or hydraulic control of
the engine seem likely culprits.
