Has Starship done a static fire yet? Edit: yes

Apparently i forgot the kerbalx link: https://kerbalx.com/theflyingdutchman/Tiger-inc-STOCK-piston-engine-for-aircraft

it does mean that the soviet state sold tanks to a friendly (to them) nation. i'm pretty sure that if the US wanted to buy one at the time they wouldn't sell. now did that make the soviet state a commercial organisation? not a clue honestly.

In the soviet Union all "companies" were owned by the state. Afaik the us government doesn't have a majority stake in SpaceX.

That looks amazing! I can only Imagine the amount of time and patience it has taken taken you to build this masterpiece!

This is a stock piston engine i build which you can use for planes, i have also built a radial but i think it’s too big. This engine however is good for about 50m/s maybe a little more. if you want to try this engine already installed in a aircraft i can reccomend the tiger cub I. However that plane is more about aestetics and you will have more fun if you put this engine in a lighter more nimble aircraft. p.s. i only just now noticed that this engine requires not only the breaking ground dlc but also the making history dlc and that second one is really not neccesary. i will make one that only requires the BG dlc soon. anyone interested in a radial btw?

I really don't see this causing that..

But why?

Almost looks like a little russian tks capsule.

Imo Starship and super heavy Will Both have Legs in the forseeable future.. it's a Nice Idea but Starship should be able to land pretty much everywhere.

Wow! Landing burn footage all the way down

Hey mister blue sky, please tell us why the camera's have been away for so long..

I think he means carriers that float on the water, i.e. boats. Saves you the hassle of transporting it from the runway to the water.

They should name the first launch "Jimmy"

I wonder why the engine wasn't producing the requested thrust on landing, plume seems alright to me.. Perhaps a faulty sensor? A stuck throttle valve should prevent them from shutting the engine down right, so that wouldn't be it..

Sigh.. the media in my country is making this look bad again.. and since pretty much anyone i know knows i'm very much interested in SpaceX, i'll probably have to defend this test all Day...

I wonder what the touchdown speed was. 5m/s? Or perhaps closer to 10..

The first Starship to fly twice!!

You have got to be kidding me :O

does this count as a succesfull landing? :p they might try again today..

I don't onderstand, on march 3rd elon tweeted that the launch would be tommorrow (4th) so how come they are still proceeding?

I'm pretty sure you are a genius.

I agree, didn't watch it either. a lot of those video's are made because the creator personally hates elon musk or electric cars.. I hear enough about that already, so when i want to watch something i want it to be unbiased, not something made to reinforce negative sentiments.
