Evidently the joints on the flaps still need a little work into not letting gases through, but it seemed to still have enough actuation to keep the spacecraft stable until the engines took over for the landing burn.

Yeah but these ones were never designed to survive. I get what you’re saying but no one wanted these to be long lasting there was no effort to make them survive
I don’t actually think they do design this stuff to survive salt water. They don’t really care, since they’re prototypes. In the long run they’ll design them to survive ocean impact, but these ones, no. They were never expected to survive.
