The lithobraking maneuver was sub-optimal.

Controlled descent into terrain.

SN9 knew the ground was where it was, but had an engine mishap preventing power to match control, so I’m debating with myself whether it was CFIT or UFIT. Maybe a superposition of both?

I think it was absolutely sure it was in CFIT and then it realized, suddenly, it was actually in UFIT.

It was a little more boring than the engine-rich exhaust of SN8.
