You’re kidding?

 

[RedUn]

Unfortunately not, still bloody amazing though!

 

[JOG]

What feed is it on?

 

[Loz]

It was burning after landing and the water sprays didn’t quite reach the rocket, so an inevitable ending I suppose. Still, they achieved the primary objective this time.

Absolutely “mission accomplished”

Launched this morning, overhead T +20m

Hi @Loz - have you got a link to the launch? (Selfishly asking as you tend to eek out better video streams!)

I watched this launch live this morning, I think we’d have a good chance of seeing it pass over the UK, if the UK was in darkness?

I had the bins out ready for a flash but then the cloud blew over just at that time.

We will see some incredibly bright ISS passes over the UK, starting on the March 20th at 20:03.

The SN... umm, what number are we on now?
The SN11 target launch is this Friday.

Some great geekiness here;

How do you find this stuff?!!

Yes watched that the other day. Fair play to these guys that manage to pull the streams. Can only imagine there is an awful lot of failure involved.

Think they'll nail this one. Not sure how many more engines they can keep burning through.

The 20:07 pass was a cracker!

Reading this morning...

“SpaceX will conduct a second static fire test after one of three Raptor engines on Starship SN11 had to be removed for repairs. The static fire could occur as soon as Friday, pending Raptor readiness and road closures.”

 

[Ghost]

There’s been a static fire test on SN11 , and if there’s no problems found, test flight will be later today!!
