@CyberWiz_YT @IEnjoyStarshi @Mookafish Why would they need to land in the gulf? They know how to reenter, they know how to land, its not really different to land in the gulf instead of indian ocean. They can just go for a catch and abort if they need

@IEnjoyStarshi @Mookafish Flight 13 is most definitely gonna be a repeat of the flight 12 profile,
Flight 14 orbit,
Flight 15 catch
And that’s if everything goes perfectly.
I think there’s a 90% chance they won’t attempt first orbit and first catch on the same flight.

There’s a non 0% chance that Ship 41 will be caught on the same day Booster 12 was.

@StarCobShipSon i was honestly suprised that it actually "did" a 33 eng boostback
English
@megagoose11 i dont think that it would have survived relighting 28 raptors during a flip, with having 350(?) tonns of mass, transfer tube would not survive that

This is something I thought I’d never see during the Starship program

It was SO FUCKING VIOLENT

It’s so over 💔
Ships gonna break up during reentry 😕

Starship’s twelfth flight test will debut the next generation Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, powered by the next evolution of the Raptor engine and launching from a newly designed pad at Starbase. The launch is targeted as early as Tuesday, May 19 → spacex.com/launches/stars…

Unless something delays during de-stack ops or at the Production Site, a Friday launch is definitely plausible right now.
Tight, but plausible.
