@dpoddolphinpro It is literally intentional. You can see ship is stable at 8 seconds just before they clearly initiate the rotating movement with raptors pointing opposite directions

That 270° roll at the end is super sketchy. Ship needs more work before it comes in for a tower catch.
That being said - the fact that a Ship got this far on the debut flight of this version is spectacular.

Starship flip and landing burn at the end of its twelfth flight test
English
@tylerdoug2001 @NASASpaceflight They landed that janky looking SN15 with same Engine pattern. I'm pretty sure todays GNC is on a another level compared to that
English
@Lihizz @NASASpaceflight Maybe. I assumed they lost roll control especially when they down selected to the one engine, but maybe they induced it to check the heat shield as you said. But that could just be hopium.

There's the video!

@DivisiveDevices @Spaceguy5 @BritVeteranU Did you ask grok to help you forming this absolutely devastating sentence 😂

@Lihizz @Spaceguy5 @BritVeteranU if he were just a janitor at NASA he'd still have done more with his life than you, lickspittle ass retard.

Great thread, raises a good point. This is bad for Starlink profitability and horrible for HLS which requires 17 (possibly more) launches for one mission. Naturally the replies are full of bots and angry grifters who just want the IPO to make them rich. They hate valid criticism

Starship Test Flight 12 showed $SPCX is still a long way from reusability. Booster engine and burnback failure and ship engine failure. Picture is Starship pre splashdown. Will require significant maintenance. Booster 300 miles off target. 45tn payload vs 100tn target. 1/3

@_DaTaX94 @dpoddolphinpro Probably trapped gas from the engines heating up. Just a total guess
English
@dpoddolphinpro Any idea where this red light comes from? Is it really something glowing hot?

This new aft section design is so sleek on Starship v3!
Very neat and tidy with the RVac powerheads recessed into the Oxygen tank.

Onboard views from Starship and Super Heavy V3, which are equipped with upgraded cameras capable of streaming 4K video through every phase of flight via @Starlink

@Spaceguy5 @BritVeteranU You are a fucking salty as bitch who is at most a janitor scrubbing floor before NASA administrator walks past you. There is literally no fucking sense in anything you write which most comes from your hate towards SpaceX and their success
English
@BritVeteranU I'm an aerospace engineer in the space industry. He's raising good points from a common sense and engineering perspective. Y'all are just angry that the program is not going well

@LostFundamental I can't with these fucking stockbros go away no one wants you here lmao.

Can we get some respect for engine E8 which never gave up, carrying the weight of the entire booster and giving its best right up until the end
English
@uth3nt1k @ScottLikedSLS Those are not tiles but ablative material to ease the heat for the exposed steel. Not critical to the heatshield and not part of it
English
@ScottLikedSLS They arnt the hex tiles but whatever they are they will need removed and replaced.
English
@PanVulpesV @mcrs987 No. People do not realise how much energy there is when object of that size hits water
English
The fact that the Starship 39 essentially landed on its bare underside as it touched down seems to have contributed to the final crash. If it had tipped onto the side with the heat shield tiles, might it have survived?
In any case, it’s exciting to watch. Let’s see what else comes to light.

Comparison of ship attitude on reentry between Flight 11 and Flight 12

Could be Flight 13.
Shanks@shanksteroflove
Will Flight 14 be the first orbital Starship test flight?

@HalcyonHypnotic I mean average spitter age is probably around 15 so not surprised your attention span prefers XQC’s adhd streams

@Lihizz @joshuabecket @ErinIshimoticha @Pjlecy @SpaceX well europeans like me who leave in masses to the usa proof you wrong

Maybe @SpaceX can ask its engineers not to chant nationalist dogwhistles on the livestream please? 😒
English
@mightbejell0 Just a thought but could the damage on the skirt be release clamp not working and basically ripping of which would have caused the booster to completely flip like it did because it could not count for the sudden ohh shit moment?
English
apparently people think its the back engine and not the engine that very obviously does not have a plume on the right
Exzie🎴@mightbejell0
you can see the dead rvac engine on the right lmao holy shit
English
@IEnjoyStarshi What went wrong with R3’s*. Both vehicles seened to have pretty energetic shutdowns for single engine and B19 boostback had even more where single or two engines took out like 10 others.
English
6-8 weeks at most until Flight 13, entirely dependant on what went wrong on B19
English
@IEnjoyStarshi Lets be honest they are not going to be ready for A3 in 2027. Flight was good but having way too much issues on the Raptor 3 side where energetic events take out engines and bleed fuel is not the improvement you would hope to have after insane amount of data from 11 flights.
English
So what we thinking y’all?
RocketEnthusiast@IEnjoyStarshi
If Flight 12 is a major success SpaceX can be ready for Artemis III in 2027
English
@sintropia_acc Same reason Hellcat owners do burnouts every time they gotta go somewhere.
English
This is probably an extremely stupid question, but why does the rocket spin on its own axis, only to return to the same position during hot staging?
Aaron Slodov@aphysicist
this will never get old

@joshuabecket @ErinIshimoticha @Pjlecy @SpaceX Calm down bro. Her comment is stupid but you saying everyone wants to live in your maga infested shithole is even more so.

@ErinIshimoticha @Pjlecy @SpaceX The United States IS better than every other country.
Why do you think everyone wants to live here?
