Well that's been a quick turnaround hasn't it, Avsim space-cadets?

SpaceX targets Starship flight next week – just a month after last one |  New Scientist

This will be a higher Starship angle of attack to test heating.

Also a faster harder booster catch.

So Charlie might get his big badda boom.

Just 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!

Uh oh.  Does that mean the return will be like this?

Kind of, Mike. The booster trajectory wasn't quite right so no catch, booster was dumped in the ocean and Charlie got his big badda boom.

Starship is in orbit and is also scheduled to dump in the ocean.

They sent a Banana up into space, not sure if there was any meaning of placing a banana in the payload, perhaps because it bruises easily with the gforces? Or just no reason whatsoever

Better video of blast off.

And it occurs to me that the huge flame would be a great way to shrink troublesome heat-shrink tubing.

 

 

Watched the live feed, it went up and then came down just as planned with the exception of the booster landing site.  No pad catch yesterday, water recovery in the Indian ocean.  I think yesterday's test was a huge win for Space X.

Yep. Especially when you consider that 2000 tiles were deliberately removed to test the consequences, and the angle of attack more extreme to increase heating.

Succesfuly reignited a Raptor in space, too
