I missed watching it in real time, but now I'm caught up. Yup, same failure mode it seems, which is good because consistent problems are easier to troubleshoot and correct.

The shame is that the engines only needed to survive another 20 seconds and the rest of the mission could have been flown. I wonder if the 1min static fire contributed to something wearing out? Perhaps if the static fire was not performed, it might have survived the mission?
