Yeah you don't need a flame diverter. Fuck that shit. Oh, for anyone that doesn't know what the super wise Elon Musk is talking about here when you have a MASSIVE rocket shooting out so much fire that it lifts itself into space that energy needs to go somewhere.

Here's a good demonstration:

Anyway, Elon is smart! He bought a degree in engineering or something because it's more efficient than actually going to college and learning things!

So he knows he doesn't need that shit.

Oh.

Okay so there was a teeeeeny little bit of damage. That doesn't look too bad. Wait are those stairs on the left? They are. Okay so there's a kinda big crater.

Wait.

Where did two stories worth of stuff go?

Well, here's a video of shit flying up and almost destroying the rocket, watch from about +0.06 to +0.09 to see enormous concrete chunks making it halfway up the booster.

Also it was raining concrete nearby. So uh. That's cool.
