  1. Here's a replay of the reentry. They must have hired somebody from Battlebots to build it.
  2. I think they'll find that the flap disintegrated, but probably nothing that would be a problem for continuing to launch test flights.
  3. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/sector_band.php?sat=G16&sector=sp&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24&dim=1 Take a close look at the southern tip of Texas.
  4. Seeing it fly back to the ground and land softly in such an adverse condition gives me confidence in the vehicle's reliability.
  5. Heatshield pointing INTO the airstream, good sign
  6. I was thinking "There is no way it's going to survive that acceleration, it's going to crumple" and "It's going to splash into the water at 1000 km/h like a pencil" simultaneously.
  7. Imagine pulling the entire descent or ascent between ground and 30,000ft+ in an airliner in about ten seconds...
  8. That's because no Starship has gotten far enough into a flight for tiles to matter.
  9. Barely made it to Mun yet this game, but downloading as many interstellar planet packs as I can
  10. I didn't bother with trying. Was more fun to just watch and share the experience. It was the X1.03 from earlier. It looked basically like a really bright filament that changed over several minutes.
  11. I saw a solar flare today. I happened to be using a hydrogen-alpha telescope when it happened.
  12. I bought some mealworms today and started a colony.
  13. I just did my nightly check to see if it's exploded. It has not.
  14. Took some more images and the brightness does not appear to have changed over these last few hours. All clear as far as I can tell!
  15. I took a few images a couple hours ago and I think it looked a little brighter than expected. Like somewhere between magnitude 9.35 and 10? Could easily still be in the 10 range though based on the variation in my data.
  16. Testing the control system, see it's very good at keeping balance.
