Reaction control thrusters didn't work. Blame it all on the Everyday Astronaut.
Why would we blame that on him?
Because, if i remember right, he's the one who suggested the modification to the system on a tour with Elon.
Specifically he asked if they were only using hot gas thrusters on the booster, and I guess Elon thought why not use them for both.
He suggested using hot gas thrusters on the ship which seem to have failed.
