January 7, 20215 yr Okay space fans. SN9's static fire test is complete and launch scheduled for 10th January. My birthday!
January 8, 20215 yr Will this flight be similar to that of SN8, Martin? Edited January 8, 20215 yr by Christopher Low Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
January 8, 20215 yr Author To be honest Chris, I've been trying to find out but can't find any details regarding the testing. Not sure what the altitude will be but I'm assuming it will be pretty much the same as before. I recall they will be attaching more heat resistant tiles though to try them out.
January 10, 20215 yr It looks like SN9 will be attempting another 12.5km test flight, belly flop, and controlled landing. The launch is currently scheduled for no earlier than Tuesday January 12.

January 10, 20215 yr Author Well that's TWO DAYS after my birthday and Elon promised me on my birthday. 😡 It better land properly, that's all I can say. Or Elon will be in my bad books.
January 11, 20215 yr Many belated happy returns, Martin.

This utter disrespect is intolerable. A momentous day it was in 1958 when a true genius was born. A man of such profound beauty and intellect was bestowed upon the world. And all I get is TWO happy birthdays. 😁 Actually it was just a quiet one. My daughter and I took a stroll to our favourite caffe, played chess at chess.com, played COD Warzone watched a film on Netflix. Did have a nice meal that evening though.

I believe that society tends not to recognise videogamers over the age of 30. I'll be playing videogames until my thumbs no longer work properly! 🍻 Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

Some of the young whippersnapper's that play these days have no idea how many older gamers there are. They forget that we were there at the birth of the video game industry and became addicted before they were born. Older gamers rule!
