May 27, 20215 yr All Raptors have been removed and a giant crane lifted it off the pad. Guess it's going to be SN16 next then.
May 27, 20215 yr Administrators Maybe they are going to dissect it to see why it worked so well?? 🤔 Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
May 27, 20215 yr They probably want to preserve it, and display it in a museum as the first starship that landed without blowing itself apart.

June 3, 20215 yr Fun fact: SpaceX is churning out RAPTOR ENGINES at a rate of one every 48 hours! Elon knows Earth is an attractive target for those UFOs the Navy keeps recording. Mars? They'll let him have it. By the way, did you see Elon's tweet when SpaceX won the Moon contract over Bezos and Company? I admit I laughed. (That decision shocked me.)

Says orbital here, in July... https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/elon-musk-starship-sn16-spaceport-b1856911.html With the super heavy booster of course. That's a big explosion if it goes wrong with the village nearby. Ultimately the finished product would be able to lift TWO Saturn V rockets. Yikes! Edited June 12, 20214 yr by martin-w
June 19, 20214 yr According to Musk on Twitter SN16 MAY fly for a sub orbital test flight. SN20 is scheduled for the demo Orbital flight with BN3 soon. Both parts are expected to soft land on the ocean, Gulf or Atlantic for BN3 and Pacific of the Coast of Hawaii for SN20. The Booster and Starship may well be ready before the launch facilities. They have plenty of history of soft landing Falcons and fairing halves so recovery and desalination is well known to SpaceX. Mark Harris. Aged 54. P3D, & DCS mostly.
