Starships 5 & 6 made it to the West coast off Australia and made soft (accurate) landings in the Indian ocean.
Starships 7 & 8 blew up minutes after separation from the booster.
What has gone wrong?

They're different spacecraft. IFT 1-6 used Block 1 ships. IFT 7 and 8 have been Block 2 ships. They're bigger, carry more fuel, have a different flap setup and use different/uprated engines.

Time for Starship to be banned. Too dangerous.

Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.
