I thought I'd try to illustrate how Starship 39 made up for a less than optimal sub-orbital insertion and lower-than-planned perigee by using aerodynamics during re-entry to extend its downrange flight profile and make an on-target landing in the Indian Ocean.
The ship used a combination of Angle-of Attack (AOA) changes, the flaps and body of the ship as lifting surfaces to manage the total drag forces to "fly" a longer distance, all while managing plasma heating & velocity decreases to prepare for the landing burn.
@SpaceX had to do this because of the loss of the one RVAC at about the 3:03 mark just after hot staging, resulting in the remaining 5 engines to compensate and burn longer. Impressive example of the Avionics, Navigation & Control used with Starship!
Check out this short video clip with illustrations & information along the way! I hope you find this informative!

Looks like Blue Origin's Jacklyn is getting her sea legs back ahead of New Glenn Flight 4.

I’m going to be honest. This entire thread is the thing I like least about my job.
CLEARLY my motivation for a scrub was selfish in that I wanted to be there and felt like I was missing out on something I (and you all) have waited 7 months for.
I also was being realistic about the odds of it going off on the first attempt. I was trying to temp expectations to help ease everyone (including myself) in the event of a scrub. That’s the reasonable thing to do as opposed to hype people up for a “certain” launch.
I was keeping track of their timelines and given hold capabilities to try and gauge along with everyone if it would launch, again, a reasonable thing to do.
I talked over Nikki Manaj because it had nothing to do with the mission as I do when there’s anything that’s a random tangent in any stream as we always do. Gave her a chance to speak, was surprised and confused to see her, thought it was funny, then didn’t think we needed to hear her asking when it was launching 🤷♂️
We’ve ALWAYS shared our footage with anyone who asks and especially our fellow creators. Ask anyone, @NASASpaceflight @CSI_Starbase @MarcusHouse @FelixSchlang
Obviously I don’t just do this for money or else I wouldn’t spend 7 months on a video or every dime on a production trailer. This whole threads feels like a huge attack on my character and I’m not going to stand for it. I work my ass off, I’m proud of the work I do, I do right by our team and those who work with us. Just because I was sad I couldn’t be there doesn’t mean anything more than that.
