So they need to keep more engines burning and not throttle back so far?
​​​​​​​So, if we can trust the telemetry from Starship’s flight, there was a significant negative g observed on the booster during staging. More force was transmitted to the booster than anticipated during hot staging, this would have generated a lot of propellent slosh that may have been enough to damage the booster and ultimately cause it to fail.
