@TyB_NC @Jannik_3844 Didn't they mention the start of the webcast it was supposed to be a 3-2-1 engine landing? And I suppose because of the aborted engine test in space they instead went for a 2-1 engine firing sequence

@Jannik_3844 sn8's plan was 2 to 1, sn10 was 3-2-1. sn15's plan was 3-2, but e3 had failed earlier so it had 2 on the whole time

SN8's landing profile has been validated now

@schoene_jonas @ScottLikedSLS If it were to be the ship's exhaust shouldn't it be closer to the bottom of the ship's aft section close to the engine's exhaust, instead of all they way up the aft section?

@ScottLikedSLS Is it only radiative heat from the exhaust plume or the engines themselves? Those should be mostly completely regeneratively cooled, no?

Think the ship might need to get some of those booster aft tiles lol

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

🚨 GOLAZO! JUDE BELLINGHAM! GOLAZOOOOOOOO!!!

@PamphletsY I just wanna play league and Warframe

@KenKirtland17 That drone catch during the landing caught me off guard, best landing and reentry. Wowzers 😮‍💨

9.5/10

Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on the twelfth flight test of Starship!

@xdNiBoR MAN, I couldn't gasp what was going on in the screen. Took me a solid few seconds to understand what I was actually looking at

WHATTTT???

Starship is executing a banking maneuver that mimics the final approach it would take while returning to Starbase for a catch on a future mission

They're doing flap loading tests new max dynamic pressure:

The catch fixtures are going to get extra hot, you want to avoid 'geometry' when doing hypersonics.

@mcrs987 Is it the first time reentry plasma is blue? I don't remember seeing that color

Seeya Dumblinks lol

Views of Starship in space from a @Starlink satellite

@mcrs987 Noooo, the video cut before we could see the heat shield 😿😿😿

WOW.

@CSI_Starbase Maybe a good old flashlight would do the trick 🤷

@CSI_Starbase Zack, how would they see the underside of the ship if it's dark out? Infrared cameras maybe?

Starlink deployment is significantly improved for sure! Nice to see them able to spit out both satellites without retracting back to the starting position to get a "running start"

@fakecarlsagan @KenKirtland17 It's just a joke. But at some point they planed to do launches and landings in offshore oil rigs

@Manazzez @KenKirtland17 How would that work?

Super Heavy skipping boost back and going down range for some reason
