Yes, the green flame is caused by burning copper from depleting fuel in the regenerative cooling circuit and going oxygen-rich (closer to stoichiometric temperature) in the main combustion chamber.
Slight underperformance of engines on this flight is the reason. The booster is meant to land with tiny residuals, so the solution is to improve engine performance and performance consistency (underway with Raptor V3.2), as well as adjust flight software to do MECO1 about one second earlier to ensure enough propellant for boostback and landing (tiny change).
These early ships and boosters are already outdated by improved designs in production or on the test stand, so this booster loss does not change our timeline to reach high volume, fully reusable Starship flights.
The Suns are preparing to scour the trade market for an impact playmaker.
Jalen Green hasn’t been a fit alongside Devin Booker being outscored by 15.3 points per 100 possessions.
Domantas Sabonis and Dejounte Murray are two potential trade targets utilizing Green’s contract.

SpaceX just got a massive FCC green light for Starlink Mobile
The FCC has approved SpaceX to launch and operate up to 15,000 next-generation satellites built for direct-to-phone connectivity
The new system is designed to:
• Target peak speeds of up to 150 Mbps per user
• Connect ordinary cell phones directly from space
• Operate in very low orbit at roughly 326–335 km
• Use T-Mobile spectrum alongside spectrum SpaceX is acquiring from EchoStar
• Deliver orders of magnitude more capacity than the first-generation Starlink Mobile constellation
SpaceX currently has roughly 650 dedicated mobile satellites in orbit
The FCC also granted a waiver giving SpaceX a path to provide satellite wireless service without requiring a spectrum-leasing agreement with a terrestrial mobile operator
Starlink Mobile is moving far beyond basic dead-zone connectivity
SpaceX is building toward a full 5G cellular network in space
