First Starship recovery in Q3 2024, where to land it is my question. They would need to overfly continental US and even Mexico for landing at Boca Chica.
This doesn’t seem like a big showstopper to me. The Shuttle did this dozens of times. Dragon regularly does. And by the time Starship actually attempts it, they’ll have a LOT of data from, and presumably several successes at, bellyflopping into the Pacific.

I know the suspense is killing you.
Zero.
Won't lie - I expected something, maybe even only a snide remark...
clearly, the parents have already converted.

I'd give odds of 4:1 that the FAA approval comes through just when SpaceX need it to, like it has every time so far.
Funny how that works. It’s Almost like they’re actually colleagues or something…

But then I tried again and it caught on FIRE again.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Why do the headlines keep saying Ingenuity "spots" the rover, like it was a surprise and they didn't expect to find it there?
Because they’re written by editors whose livelihoods are entirely based on how many clicks they can entice…

It felt like i had shifted into a parallel universe or something.
Have you considered the possibility you actually have shifted into a parallel universe and there is now someone in your universe wandering around wondering what the @$%&!! happened to their house?
Maybe a thinny? Portal Stone? Stargate? Event Horizon fallout? Crossed streams?
Oh, I know, it’s a glitch in the Matrix and you’ve just jumped servers.

Welp…. Those clouds did look a lot more steamy and a lot less concretey than last time, at least.

It's high school. In America. I will count it a success when they correctly identify the continent Germany resides upon.

I’m gonna guess they can’t be removed without breaking them…
Prolly why they’re not selling these as souvenir hot plates.

I've got an issue with the Big Gemini crew module here, not sure where to begin troubleshooting it. I can't train any crew for it, it just doesn't show up in the "Courses" list. OG Gemini is there, Big G service module is there, but new crew module. Won't let me load crew at launch, but everything does work fine in simulations. I'm guessing this is a simple tweak in a config file but after poking around a bit I have no idea where to find the right one.

Clearly, SpaceX will reduce damaging sound pressure levels from the engines by simply making the Giant Bidet louder than them.

Also it's small, streamlined, and keeps the meat fresh inside.
After a couple of weeks crammed in that thing I don’t “fresh” would still apply…

In any case, people will call you smart no matter what speed you solve it at, and they will say: "You can solve it in (X) seconds/minutes? It would take me (X) years!"
Indeed. But I got all y’all beat, this is how I solved them.
More or less…

Boostback on AX-2 looked like ~50 seconds of 9 engines.
Wait, I thought only three engines were plumbed for relights?
