Well done Elon. I'm sure this was a great finding that couldn’t have been discovered any other way. Totally worth the hundreds of hours of work and billions of dollars spent on the development of your biggest toy thats now at the bottom of the ocean.

Well atleast we now know how Super Heavy+Star Ship flies with engines that got damaged during launch.

SPACEX STARSHIP FROM THE AIR!! Upper Stage Failure - January 16, 2025

Starship Flight 7 put 0 Starlink satellites into orbit; all Starship flights combined have failed to achieve LEO low earth orbit. Almost negligently killed a lot of people.

When the Super Heavy booster lined up for the "chopsticks" catch, we knew we were witnessing a new era of space tech! by Peter Thoeny - Quality HDR Photography Via Flickr: My son and I decided to attend the launch of Starship 5, which was scheduled form Sunday October 13. This SpaceX mission was historical: The objective was to catch the Super Heavy booster on return with the Mechazilla arms, nicknamed "chopsticks". The booster slowed to a near hover and did a horizontal slide maneuver to line itself up with, and rest on two massive "chopstick" arms on the launch tower. It was an amazing feat many considered impossible! I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from 3 RAW exposures, blended them into a composite image, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments. Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude!

SpaceX Starship first TestFlight

SpaceX finally launched the full stack of starship. Now, normally rockets do one of two things, they either work or they explode with the upper stage either working or falling short of orbit. Spacex however have managed a middle ground where the first stage continuously explodes while still managing to work only for the upper stage to not deploy at all.

It also appears that one of the hydraulic power units exploded about 30 seconds into the flight. The force of the rocket also dug out a hole under the launch platform.

This not only created a mushroom cloud but also flung up chunks of concrete. One of which damaged the vehicle of NASASpaceFlight YouTube channel who were there filming.
