62 new moons have been found around Saturn bringing to the total moon count around the planet to an astonishing 145!

This is a fair contender for one of the most stupid ideas I've seen for starting a series. But my inner 8 year old is gonna love this!

Seems real but I would take that image with a grain of salt
This seems to be the source and it's probably real

Actually found this in the Intercept Discord, I have no clue if it's real.

Yes. The ship was FTS'd a few moments after the booster and survived the initial deflagration. What you're seeing here is the ship with the top of the booster still attached with the deflagration/spill of booster LOX/Methane blown out into clouds behind it.
Jeese, interesting it survived all of that! Where did the footage get released?

Surreal image. After Booster FTS, moments before Starship FTS. Downward facing flap cam.
What's even happening in that image? It looks like there is still a chunk of booster stuck to the ship.

Yeah it's been caved in pretty bad in some places. May have to be scrapped

I have a sneaking suspicion hoppy is not surviving this

How many engines can they lose before they can't reach orbit? Cause I count at least 7 being off at one point.

Hoppy is not ok:
Tis but a scratch. Can't be worse than what happened to its nose cone.

Someone forgot to check the staging

Very kerbal indeed!
-
That tumble was quite violent, impressive that it didn't break up!
-
SPECTACULAR EXPLOSION!
-
Lets go!

Looks like we may make it through!

The suspense is killing me

Godspeed Starship

Well at least the launch is now always two days away instead of two months.

The wreck of the RMS Titanic has been fully 3D scanned. For the first time in 111 years we can view the entire ship;
The bow is the last intact piece of the ship. When the vessel broke up the bow cruised away from the rest of the wreck and lies 600 to 800 meters from its stern. While the bow is starting to decay it at least looks recognizable as being a ship.
The bows port side is showing signs of collapse.
The large hole in the deck is where the grand staircase was once located, being made of wood mostly it was torn apart as the ship sank.
The Titanic's stern is totally collapsed. When the section sank it had not yet filled with water and it imploded as it sank. It also probably tumbled through the water at twice the speed of the ship's bow before corkscrewing into the bottom. Whatever was left of the stern has since collapsed and been totally flattened. The vessels fantail (end of the ship) is beginning to sag downwards and what's left of the ships engines is now taller than most of the vessel.
Another view of the collapsed stern.
The ships starboard propeller. When it hit the bottom the central prop and rudder were buried and the side screws were bent upwards at an angle of about 20 degrees.
The scan's detail is incredible, here we can see a serial number on the starboard prop.
