SpaceX will launch the mammoth Starship on Sunday in a launch window that opens at 5 AM PST (7 AM local time) from the company’s Starbase site in southeast Texas. This flight, which will be the fifth in the Starship development program, is coming a little sooner than expected: the Federal Aviation Administration had previously said that it did not anticipate issuing a modified launch license for this test before late November.
Starship landing was a success too! They landed right on target this time. There was still a bit of burn-through at one of the aft fins (much less than before), and it exploded a little bit after it landed. Hopefully they’ll be able to land Starship on the ground next!
extremely impressive - the atmospheric heating on the bottom as it came is was scary though!
(no engines lit here!)
Catch was successful!
Neat.
space should not be privatised
Cool, then get NASA to actually do something vs hamstringing itself with bureaucrats…the only reason people like you rage against SpaceX is because it’s tied to that idiot musk.
NASA is hamstringing itself? Tell me more. I don’t know anything about NASA, but I would have guessed the bureaucrats were external.
everything spacex has done has been because of nasa…
Live stream available here. Apparently launch in 40 minutes or so from this comment:
Edit: that was some dirty link sorry
I see you’ve removed your link, but before it was linking to a scam stream
Yeah, got some upset kids here but did manage to find a correct steam
This channel broke into a cryptocurrency scam right before launch, with Elin musk’s voice faked.
That’s sadly pretty on brand.
Yeah it felt possible for a second.
Sorry. 200k people were on that. Scum. Everyday astronaut is the one I’m watching now.
Defund this fascist bozo already who cares.
Get a grip, dude.
Nah, freaking out is totally the right call in the face of galloping fascism like we’re seeing in the U.S.
Doing it here won’t accomplish anything though.
Vote. Get others to vote.
Go get a tan
