All 33 Raptor 2.0 engines on the booster performed flawlessly.

Stage separation took place perfectly.

The booster performed its return-to-base manoeuvre but then blew up.

The starship (upper stage) continued on all of its 6 engines on track
and reached 24,000 km/hr (orbital speed is 28,000) and shut down its
engines and then blew up.

The launch pad seems to be undamaged meaning they can go again soon.

Most people (including me) think the test was a huge success.

The people at the launch centre used "rapid unscheduled disassembly",

'Burglarized', indeed. 'Administrated'.

"Dubya" was good at them - he used to invent them on the fly in mid-speech.
Sadly, the Oxford dictionary now includes many American words, which is
making crossword and similar puzzles nearly impossible to complete.
