...with a thrust-to-weight ratio of nearly 1.5, this rocket shot off the pad in seconds. The entire stack then did a 270-degree roll maneuver as all 33 Raptor 3 engines were running to start the ascent burn. Then, at T+00:01:43, a single outer Raptor 3 engine shut down for an unknown reason.

The Booster would complete its ascent burn, then came hot staging and stage separation, during which the booster shut down 28 of 33 engines, and Ship 39 ignited all six engines before flying away on its own. Booster 19 then attempted to flip and complete a 33-engine boost back burn; however, several engines didn’t relight, and the rest tried to shut down.

The booster then lost control before all engines shut down, which sent Booster 19 into a tumble until it hit the thicker parts of the atmosphere, where the grid fins were able to regain control. The booster then completed the rest of its glide, where it attempted a landing burn before possibly exploding during the landing burn.

The Ship would continue its ascent burn but would lose one of its Raptor Vacuum engines at T+00:03:03 on ascent. This, however, would not spell the end of Ship 39, as using thrust vector control and a longer burn, it was able to reach nominal suborbital insertion. During the coast phase, the ship wouldn’t complete its in-space Raptor relight, but it would deploy all 22 satellites.

Ship 39 then completed its reentry and other experiments perfectly, before splashing down in the Indian Ocean on target and with an amazing-looking heat shield.

And as well, the launch pad looks to be in near-perfect shape, except for the Gateway to Mars sign, which was nearly obliterated.
