Design flaw in StarShip first stage. There is no way to reach anyone about it at SpaceX.

@NASASpaceflight Alex do you think the new FTS may be to help the booster “ suicide itself “ as Elon said ? If they abort the catch it means there is a booster with a lot of fuel still onboard landing in ocean ?
