I know not everyone checks the Starship Dev thread on a regular basis, so I thought I would also create a separate post.
Starship update video released. Some highlights:
- S25 failure: Intentional LOx venting caused an unintentional fire and explosion.
- IFT-3 flight plan includes a deorbit burn from header tanks.
- 2nd launch tower at Starbase confirmed.
- Full stack could eventually stretch to 150 m, with an aspirational goal of 200 tonnes to orbit, fully reusable.

Thanks for the update can not always stay up to date from work nice to see it on lemmy.
Also showed a new pez door design! I guess we’ll see if it’s for real or just an idea at this point. I can’t seem to find a way to upload it in a comment
