This is going to be a lengthy grounding and investigation. 

doubtful

this is how spacex does it

the below video is 8 years old

spacex has 400 falcon 9 landings on the scoreboard

a falcon 9 flew this week for the 25th time

twenty

five

launches

twenty

five

landings

please read my post #717 for all of the block 2 changes that were flown today

they will figure out starship and next year we will see video of moon landings

in 2027 we will see video of mars landings

they will perfect both missions before they put people on board

in comparison, jeff's triumph 22 hours ago took 25 years to achieve

elon goes fast and has proven that method works

Watching some of the space nerds on youtube, they were experimenting with heat tiles again and pushing limits etc. 

Guess they found the breaking point if true 

Those are generally used for descent, not ascent. But I have seen some folks getting freeze frames of fire licking out from the inside near the fin joints

This failure led to a significant event for the FAA and significant diversions for flights. I don't think SpaceX prior success or methodology change that. I expect you'll see at least a couple month delay for investigations of both the failure and, perhaps more importantly, potential changes to FAA procedures to minimize flight risk and impacts going forward.

Did any of the debris fall outside of the preplanned hazard area?

Nope, everything was within parameters. But the risk profile of future missions is certainly going to be greater now that there's a datapoint of exploding on ascent and tossing a huge debris field. It still causes a ton of flight diversions and a few declared fuel emergencies. Everyone was safe and all that, but the FAA is likely to want to mitigate future stresses on the system with a larger hazard area which will take longer to obtain
