By the way, pay attention: the rocket turns around the center due to two steering engines at the edges. For some reason, SpaseX decided to rotate one engine around the nose, which I think is unwise. But I can be wrong, probably a fairly powerful main engine on the nose did not fit.
And I also have an idea that rockets don't fly backwards, that the problems started earlier, when the skin fires were visible. And then it fell with the engine turned off very hot. And the red, then the green color of the flame, I think, from the fact that something melted and burned there.
Besides, if I'm not mistaken, Ilon understands Russian a little, probably he watched one wonderful Soviet movie "KIN-DZA-DZA" with such a device "Pepelats", but did not understand that this is a comedy...
