@esherifftv Knowing that EVERYTHING was new, it was a clear 9/10. I would have rated it differently if this was just a continuation of testing the old v2 design on the old pad.

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being complete success, how would you rate Starship Flight 12?

That pirouette at the end may win style points but surely it’ll make it hard to catch.

@highfreqhertz That was mainly solved a while ago, we just barely got to that point of the test with v2. The most recent issues with flap damage was not due to burn through, but due to the minor skirt explosion.
English
Something I don’t see people talking about is that there appeared to be zero flap burnthrough, which used to be a major issue.

Not a bad way to spend day two on the job.
Thanks for the flight, @NASAAdmin, and best of luck to @SpaceX on Starship Flight 12!

@StateDept "We decided to do _something_"... That's the problem. You just decided to do "something" without consulting anyone. It was NOT a good plan, and the result is clearly visible now. Iran is temporarily militarily weaker, but in the long run strategically much stronger.

SECRETARY RUBIO: All these NATO countries agree with us that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon, the regime is a threat to peace, and they already have missiles that can reach Europe.
We decided to do something and everyone goes into hiding.
Yeah, we were upset about that.

@TheIntelFrogbu Getting rid of that silly thing on the top will just make the plane more aerodynamic.
