Thanks for the link. I turned it on 10s before liftoff!
Yeah I was looking for the Youtube link and couldn't find it. Luckily Reddit mentioned it was on twitter/their site instead.
I got the wrong feed on youtube. Stole the logo, stole the official feed. At t minus 2 mins turned into a bullsht crypto ad. Except it was several minutes behind so once i switched over it was t plus 6 minutes. What a pisser
NSF usually posts the entire launch afterwards. Can find a link to that for you once it gets posted.
Ship survived hot staging which was the objective. Looks like it’s likely second stage got terminated on engine cutoff. Pretty successful launch! Hopefully the pad is in better shape this time.
That was fun. Slightly disappointing the second stage didn't make it all the way. Not very surprising though. It looked like all boosters engines worked all the way through which is a big improvement. Engine reliability seemed to be the biggest issue for me. They'll figure out the other stuff.
Does seem like the engines are getting more reliable at least. Looked like all 33 stayed lit on the way up, And all 6 lit on the second stage. Just issues with relighting it seems like.
I wonder if the booster sustained some damage from the hot staging. It looked really good and then poof. If the engines failed to relight for boost back, it would probably auto terminate right then.
Nice. Looks like it flipped like it should, but engines didn't relight. Or not enough of them, since I believe 3 are supposed to remain running the whole time.
So bring me up to speed here, I haven’t been paying attention. The starship is still flying correct? The booster was supposed to be returning to earth but it exploded which wasn’t supposed to happen. But all in all a successful mission besides that?
