Somehow I got the idea they used separate single shot reservoirs and valves for TEA/TEB , one per start/restart. Would seem to be more reliable and maybe easier to setup for next launch:.No TEA/TEB tank emptying/filling, swap out cylinder/valve sets.Speculation will be rampant as to why it ran out thanks to the RUD. As I understand it the center core for F9H is different from the non-center F9 cores. So is it design, mfg or environment? Will be interesting to follow...
And no valve didn't shut, stuff leaks out failure mode.
But if they ran out, I guess not.
