Wow, look at this bombast and self-aggrandizement. 95% of what is shown is either old Soviet tech or a CGI of non-existing tech. -
Lunar lander with superdracos? Aren’t they a bit OP for lunar gravity?

Any official word on the central booster situation?

Really? Why?

What happened?

Something tells me he’s not joking

So FH’s dry mass is about 80 tons. More than 90% of that mass (and 27 out of 28 engines) can return and be reused. It’ll increase to 95% if they start catching fairings. Super close to full reusability, incredible.

LOX tank cam.

Yeah, looks like the rotation axis is pointed away from us, but at an angle (17 deg to the right?) that results in a difference in brightness.

Obviously, the rotation axis is perpendicular to the line of sight and is almost perfectly horizontal on the released image. The bottom part is moving towards us, and the upper part is moving away - it can clearly be seen from the brightness distribution. The disc (which should look like a vertical line from our perspective) is warped into a circle by the black hole’s gravity.

Horizontal velocity was north of 900 m/s.
