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!
November 18, 20232 yr Author Yep. Starship did great, all Raptors fired, reached space, landed in the ocean perfectly. Booster was dealt with by the termination system so that worked perfectly too. And the pad looks undamaged so water deluge worked great. Edited November 18, 20232 yr by martin-w
November 18, 20232 yr I think it's the other way around. They lost the booster on the boost-back burn, and it appears the flight termination system activated on Starship shortly after engine-cutoff. Super successful test nonetheless.....hot-staging worked, and Starship got to space. The launchpad looks like it's still intact as well. That's a huge win. Edit: Still waiting on full confirmation on some of the above. DB Edited November 18, 20232 yr by DaviiB

Almost looks like cheap sci-fi, at first.... Simply stunning. Finally, rocket ships that actually land, just like in the old sci-fi movies. Can't wait for them to do this with a human crew.

November 18, 20232 yr Administrators Besides the Rocky Jones Space Ranger landings, I was wondering if this "hot separation" between booster and payload caused the booster to explode and also damaged the payload starship?

Not sure. Hot staging seemed to be fine. This is a good rundown of the launch. I guess the hot staging could have caused damage. Edited November 18, 20232 yr by martin-w
November 18, 20232 yr The detonation of the booster seems to have been done manually because it had not oriented itself properly for the descent. It was nowhere near Starship when it exploded.
