VIDEO OF CHANG ZHENG 10B CATCH That's... a lot of smoke from the interstage lol. But they caught it! This capability allowed SpaceX to become *the* launch superpower. China could now do that too. x.com/raz_liu/status…

Well here's your explanation for the longer Starship Flight 13 delay: at least three Raptors have made it to the McGregor Test Site. SpaceX is getting as much data as possible.

Another Raptor previously installed on Booster 20 is at SpaceX's McGregor test site. This is the third we've seen so far, indicating that more than two have been removed. This engine was also part of Booster 19's 10-engine complement back in March. nsf.live/mcgregor

CORRECTION: The previous Falcon 9 post-ignition abort was Astranis: From One to Many, in December 2024 (251 launches ago)

This is the first Falcon 9 post-ignition abort since Starlink Group 10-2 in June 2024 (319 launches ago). Should it delay beyond MRV-1, devastatingly, the final launch of B1069 will NOT be Falcon 9's 669th mission, but its 668th.

Well. It looks like we now actually have a record of the longest gap between flight attempts of a specific mission, given the delay to next week…
Ryan Caton@dpoddolphinpro

If Starship launches tomorrow, this will be the fastest ever Stack-to-Launch turnaround to date - demonstrating @SpaceX’s eagerness to achieve the holy grail of rocketry: a fully and rapidly reusable launch vehicle. The record was previously held by Ship 25, which was stacked onto Booster 9 approximately 22 hours before Flight 2.

TPS looking super on Ship 40, escorted by cybertrucks and public! The public can literally walk with a rocket heading for launch in under 24 hours. I hope that doesn't change going forward.

@X_Rayzzzz @nextspaceflight Some people count all missions, some people only count successful missions, some people only count missions which launched (unlike AMOS-6), some people don't count suborbital missions (In-Flight Abort)... there's many different ways to categorize what a "mission" is

SpaceX plans to expend booster B1069 on its next flight. Coincidentally, this will be Falcon 9's 669th mission, and SpaceX's 699th - but only if two missions (Tranche 1 Transport Layer E and Starlink Group 17-39) launch before.

(If MS-10 rings any bells, that’s the launch which aborted due to an anomaly during booster separation)
