@Truthful_ast wait is that not the flashlight. Such an epic moment anyways

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

And this is the exact reason that Starship hasn't "gone to orbit" yet.
You just really don't want a vehicle this size in orbit without having the ability to control it.

As we know, New Glenn's upper stage failed to conduct its planned circularization burn; this left the payload in an unrecoverable low orbit. We have tracking data on the payload however, there is no data provided for the New Glenn upper-stage at this time. It's safe to assume it did not complete a disposal burn. New Glenn upper stage and payload will re-enter within the next 4-5 days. New Glenn upper stage dry mass is around 25 metric tons and measures in at ~ 77ft x 23ft which is comparable to the Long March 5B stage that the CASC left in orbit a few years ago. New Glenn's upper stage poses a significant risk to locations between 36.11 degrees N/S latitude and will generate a large debris field. If it re-enters over land, largely intact pieces may be found, possibly as large as 5 feet or more in diameter. Lighter-weight spherical objects such as COPVs are expected to partially/completely survive re-entry.

@Truthful_ast Imagine they using this shot as the cover. Man I’m so glad I’m living through this time just thinking about it.

@Arthur_25h Just my assumption, they'll probaly release it after either landing the first humans on Mars after the first permanent settlement on Mars

Sadly no booster today along with it but B19 should hopefully perform its 33 engine static fire tomorrow!🙏I can't wait for the photos

Full-duration static fire for the first time on Starship V3

So, I guess SpaceX is going to be making turbine power generators now...? That are seemingly driven by some form of combustor, if not an entire engine?? To power AI??? At Bastrop Texas?????

@ak199521 @inceptstellar From what I can find that’s got laser not film. Still impressive though.

@Truthful_ast @heartagramed I've lost track recently. Are we seeing a starship launch next month?
English
@heartagramed SpaceX will build most of NASA's lunar base and these leftist tards will still be crying about SpaceX blowing up rockets

@beaversteever Open ai? Saw a lot of similar styled stuff in nyc
English
btw you'll never guess the company that posted this ad, that i cropped out on the right
Steve the Beaver@beaversteever
hardware is becoming cool again

Seeing the Statue of Liberty has always been on my bucket list
I just didn’t expect to see it in Japan first

@yacineMTB It at least discovered tons of exoplanets and a lot of them with potential for life

@maietta I am too lazy to remember syntax so mostly use MC for transferring files but it sucks as it is super slow 😅
