Hosted webcast is back. Payload door opening and propellant transfer were tested, still awaiting data review. Raptor relight imminent.

Edit: It sounds like Starship decided to skip the raptor relight. Going straight to reentry.

As much as I'd like for those rotations to be intentional, for now I'm assuming they didn't relight because they lost orientational control.
