The recent test is part of an ongoing effort by rocket startups in China to mimic SpaceX's success.

    The engine cut was so sudden. I was honestly expecting a more dramatic failure, but still awesome to see reusable rockets steadily becoming the norm.

        Dramatic like a fireball rising up from the crash, not the drama created by the camera and music.

      Might have been an uncommanded/incorrectly-commanded engine shutdown, or some sort of sensor issue or control system integration bug

        Article says incorrect altitude measurement caused premature engine cutoff.
