SpaceX Starship

That was really cool to watch knowing that nobody got hurt

 

[Sousaclone]

Yep. It's nice they've got another one that'll probably be ready to test in a couple weeks. That's the key with Spacex's advancement. They aren't afraid of failures. If it doesn't work, they find out what went wrong, fix it, then try again. Rinse and repeat until they get it right.

Yeah. Granted, SpaceX has put out a "blooper" real of all their Falcon rocket crashes and failures so they aren't afraid to admit they've screwed up...

This is a prime example of government vs private enterprise. If this had been a NASA rocket that exploded, there would congressional hearings, threats to pull funding, and years of delays.
Spacex shrugs it off and already has another on the pad getting ready to fly. That is how true innovation occurs.

Who is signing up to be first to man one?

 

[BBHMagic]

Theres another rocket right where they crash land the other one? Seems a little risky to have the next one so close. Am I seeing that right?

 

[NWICY]

The announcer does a nice job of upselling a explosion.

Test flight #3 should be coming today. Time TBD. Flight window is from 9am to 6pm.

I just want to see it land! Hopefully they can test today!

 

[interrobang]

It looks like the tank farm is showing activity. So should be starting to fuel SN10. Means it is about 35-40 mins from launch!

 

[interrobang]

Had a valve issue it seems. Clearing the pad now though again.

 

[interrobang]

5 mins away! Here is the SpaceX stream for when it goes live here soon.

And aborted....still have time to try again today if they can.

Worse than blue balls.

Sounds like they may make another attempt in 2 hours.

so good thing i didnt sit around all day waiting for this to happen.

 

[motorcy90]

they ******* did it...

 

[isutrevman]

they ******* did it...

Landing didn't look perfect, hard to tell though. Appears to be leaning, but it's still upright and intact. Awesome!

 

[chuckd4735]

I just missed seeing the last launch when I was down seeing my parents in South Padre. Cool that they finally got it to land!

 

[chuckd4735]

Whoops

and there she blows...
