100/10 Inspired me to make Kiwi Tech in the first place resulting in my building becoming much better then it used to be.

Update of the Munar mission: We have completed the design of the orbiter and are doing simulations on it to verify its design. It should be ready today or tomorrow. UPDATE: Kapstone is ready KerbalX - Apetryx 9B Kapstone

10/10

Just searched it up on Bing and I can confirm it does say this.

Dont know how I missed this but the launch looked great!

There wont be a December launch but I have heard they are aiming for January. There will probably be a lot of testing in December though.

Proton M THE GAME IS ALIVE!!!!!!

who's joe?

The engines on the ship are much older then the booster so the sea level engines could still have been a issue for the ship.

The plume is seen as weird because it looks like it just appears out of nowhere and then is followed by FTS activation. It could be the camera acting strange though. It would be very bad if the sea level engines got shutoff because they are the only engines on the ship with gimbal.

Floor 4481: Starship IFT-2

No one except for maybe SpaceX knows. Its theorized to be an issue with the engines or tank pressurization. Or it could have been off course. A good thing to note is that the plume noticeably expanded a lot before FTS activation.

Starship had FTS activated Around T+ 8 Minutes. So the ship was destroyed long before reentry.

So the hot-staging may not have caused Booster-9's explosion but it could have instead been plumbing issues.

The heat shield tiles seem to all be falling around what appears to be where they weld the ship together.

The heatshield tiles that fell off make me wonder how many can fall off before you start to have major issues during reentry? Anyways I need to sleep I was up almost all night.

"Maybe I should buy some of this crypto?" Getting 2 hours of sleep so you can watch the entirety of NSF's live stream.

Amazing picture! A decent amount of heatshield tiles appear to have fallen off though.

Depends on the condition of the GSE but I could imagine them start testing Ship-28 this month and Booster-whatever in early December if the GSE is in good condition. It also heavily depends on how much they need to change the hot-staging ring's design.

I was NOT expecting all 33 engines to work! The launchpad seemed to have a very little amount of debris get launched (it was most likely a tarp so nothing to worry about that much.) It looked like from certain camera views things might have fallen off of the Booster but it could very easily have been my eyes playing tricks on me. It was ice falling off. The hot staging was too out of focus to tell how it looked but I'm assuming it wasn't nominal because of what happened later in the flight The puff's from the Booster are a bit concerning but much better then exploding engines. The booster looked to flip very fast and then those really large puff's seemed to not be good considering it was followed by FTS. The ship seemed to fly quite well after stage separation until the plume looked to rapidly expand and then be followed by FTS. The FTS and the raptors seemed to work very well for this flight! Overall it was a VERY successful test flight and I'm looking forward to the third flight! What's the chance we get another starship flight on Elon's favorite day next year?

The hype is at the max!

Can we use Restock+ for submissions?

Absolutely nothing happens to the colour green but Starship gets delayed by the grid fin actuator. @Deddly Wins! Rock-paper-scissors-shoot, anything you want to do!
