Forgot to mention the lox tank is clearly punctured. Held up pretty well despite that
English
Minus some damage to the areas around the flap hinge covers this doesn't look too bad.
Even though they are getting lots of important data, it would be nice to see how it looks when they are no longer performing the missing tile experiments.
Lots of future improvements to come with the TPS system, thats for sure

@Starship_20 Active cooling system started leak cause ressembled as tank leaking , dont worry no tank rupture
English
@TJ_Cooney No! leaky, Active cooling system started dripping of flow of cryo due to TPS worn off
English
another angle. Epic! she was very leaky, stainless steel again proves to be the right choice.

Ship 38 was in ROUGH shape on landing. You can see tiles and pieces of steel flying off/holding on for dear life. TPS continues to be the major bottleneck for Starship.
Stabilized and processed by me.

@FishMooka There wasn't any leak on LOX tank, There was ACTIVE COOLING TPS CHANNEL leak due to Tiles fell off their placement, No worry
English
Wait, was I right?
There is clearly something leaking out of the ship.
Mookafish@Mookafish
Did the tanks rupture during the landing burn? It looks like there is oxygen leaking out from the LOX tank here. It might be due to damage from missing tiles, or the structural stress of the flip maneuverer.

I'm ready for SpaceX’s Starship Flight 11 !!

Starship flight on Monday ~5pm CT

@Blobifie TPS absent place have secondary protection layer for simulate how upper layer tiles damage will exert maxiumum thermal load on those secondary layer or see if localized hotspot will destroy other tiles

SpaceX removing more tiles from Ship 38 than they did Ship 37 after saying they wouldnt remove any tiles at all:

Close up view of Starship 38's thermal protection system heat shield tiles during rollout today. 10/11/25

@bofftrough Yea the goal is to see how a ship handles tile loss in different areas and how the back-up ablative handles reentry. Also theres areas where there wont be any ablative or tiles to test the point the steel burns through if at all

Flight-proven Super Heavy booster moved to the pad at Starbase ahead of launch
English
This will be starship Flight 11!
ToughSF@ToughSf
The fifth flight of the Atlas-Centaur was a spectacular failure. The booster left the launchpad only to crash back down seconds later: youtu.be/mkL7n6zX1wo It was also the last on-pad explosion at Cape Canaveral until 2016's SpaceX Falcon 9 carrying AMOS-6.

@Emily57356952 @iam_smx its not only work but also emotionally tooo
English
@stainless_squid ah! not possible because AFT section isnt modular it attched along LOX tank
English
@That1RocketGuy person who proposed it deserves 2025 aerospace engineering award
English
@cabinposh @DimaZeniuk @SpaceX welders have most insane respect to fabricate superheavy and starship that could witstand insane cryo and aero pressure love you guys

@HelloElara @DimaZeniuk This is dream of humanity that never fades until universe die, We will be on mars in our life time what do you think?
English
@DimaZeniuk This is what vision looks like. Exploration > stagnation, always.
English
@jackywacky_3 It will lean forward to much with this confriguation means we will have quick landing but high risk of damage chopsticks and fall
English
would this work for the 5 engine configuration? i mean they never tested these engines and theyll likey use these from the outer 10 a bit longer
English
@SN73MARS @AstroDesires It makes sense to copy the best design that we currently have. There are not that many ways to return second stage from orbit anyway.
