This is the best summary I could come up with:
On the plus side, the rocket—dubbed Booster 9, as it is the ninth to be built as part of SpaceX’s iterative design methodology—survived the test and appeared to be in good shape afterward.
Even so, Sunday’s testing marked a step forward for SpaceX, bringing the company closer to a second launch of its Starship vehicle.
It is not known whether SpaceX plans to perform additional tests of this booster, or gleaned enough data on Sunday to press ahead with a launch attempt this fall.
For the sake of comparison, a period of 70 days elapsed between the static fire test of Booster 7, which powered the first Starship launch, and its liftoff.
Most notably, engineers and technicians have installed large water deluge system, and performed what appeared to be a successful test of it on July 28.
Several days after this launch attempt, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said the problem could be solved with a “longer detonation cord” to make sure the propellant tanks are fully unzipped rapidly.

They arent going to fly soon.
I don’t give a rat’s ass if SX is separated from moron Musk. At this point, Fuck every entity connected to that POS.
Fuck Space X
Braindead hater of science
Muskrat “thoughts”
The dude isn’t even breaking any actual new ground. He and his fellow billionaires just lobbied space exploration into being a private enterprise they can exploit more easily, then they put out articles bragging about how they did something NASA and the Soviet space program have been doing for fifty years.
That’s your opinion. Better check them from primary sources
Lul, go jack off in a corner about how “One time, he used EPOXY TO FIX A CRACK IN FRONT OF SOME JOURNALISTS!??!!? He even got his shoes dirty!”
Never seen a person filled with so much hatred, just because the other person switched political parties. Touch grass
Lul, “hatred.”
You ain’t seen nothing, including some of his own tweets.
Lmao. Tweets? That’s the best you have to offer, hate mongerer?
