@podfeet Wait, what was supposed to explode? I am confused, but that's not difficult...
@jane_jordan Because they can. Purely a flex, a show off, a fun thing to do to show they can control it so precisely.
@podfeet Oh, that's what that term means Got it. When you put it that way, it all makes sense. Thanks for being patient and explaining what may be obvious...
@jane_jordan Always call me on it if I use a slang phrase or worse yet, jargon that isn't common! Heck always ask me questions. That's how we all learn.
@podfeet I don't know if this is kind of the techy thing that would fit the podcast, but I thought you and Bart (I can't remember his username) might like to discuss? Or maybe you have and i haven't caught up?

@jane_jordan Good question! The booster launched the Starship, then separated, then came back to Earth. It was planned to drop into the ocean, and would explode when it hit the water. The flex was that before it dropped in, they had it hover over the water for a few seconds, then shut off the engines and then dropped (and exploded).
@podfeet Oh, interesting. But ... why did they have it hover? What's the point? It could have just dived, right?
