Elon talking about the holes on SN38

Mod note: you posted this in the updates thread as well.  It's not really update material, and since you then also posted it here, I've deleted that post in the updates thread.  Don't post in both places please.

When posting X links, please also post the Twitter equivalent (replace "x" with "twitter") as that will trigger the NSF forum software to automatically embed the tweet, as I've done below.

The text of the tweet is "Elon on Ship 38's splashdown during Flight 11."  Then attached is a 41 second video clip, apparently from a recent Joe Rogan show, where Elon discusses how they intentionally stressed the ship on entry.

PSA #1: Suppress forum auto-embed of Youtube videos by deleting leading 'www.' (four char) in YT URL; useful when linking text to YT, or to avoid bloat.
PSA #2:  Use Google's "site:" operator to quickly find threads on NSF; google those three words for guidance  *** two more tips in profile ***

Check out the engine burn pattern on the shower head!!!!

That pattern was built into the design of the shower head, it was visible before it ever saw a raptor.

that said, visually it does particularly stand out in that shot and good call pointing it out. Just maybe "burn pattern" is not the right description
(happy to be proven wrong if there's a closer shot)
