So it appears raptor engine blew up during landing of SN11! Raptor engine is far from reliable!
No wonder they keep changing the engine after every fire test! During SN11 launch, 2 of the raptor engine suffer damages! During landing, this engines trigger massive explosion!
So yeah, Elon Musk shout out to all talented engineers to join spacex! I think he still trying hard to sort out all the hardware problems of raptor engine and it won't be ready for quite sometime!
Realistically, i think starship won't be ready until next year! Plenty of failures up ahead!
Then again, i am not a genius like Elon Musk! He is one of a kind! Let's hope he find the right engineers to help him!

i think the flip manoeuvre adds challenges to the design of the starship.
