They landed that thing right where it was supposed to go. 200 yards from the buoy.

Yes. Pressurized fuel... Big jolt.

Surprised they don't fuel dump…

Pretty impressive overall…much better than other recent attempts…

That was a fantastic mission. They've worked out a lot of the issues on Starship V2. Still a long way to go, but overall this was a really good day for SpaceX.

They are eventually going to catch it. And you don't want to run out of fuel.

That was awesome! Unreal shot from the buoy cam. Some really good progress made on this launch. Excited to see them try to catch both hopefully in the next few attempts.

I lost hope when whatever it was exploded at the aft skirt. Such a pleasant surprise it landed exactly where it was supposed to!

That was probably the most successful of the 10 full stack test flights. I can't note a single thing that went absolutely wrong.

Obviously a ways to go on the heat shield, but I bet the currently in production V3 Ships are already a lot better on that front.

Launch from the greatest state in the Union and landed a half a world away within a few hundred meters from a camera in the Indian Ocean.

I didn't lose hope, but I was certainly expecting/anticipating an engine fail to relight for the flip maneuver.

My guess is shock wave from the fuel explosion.

Wonder how many more times they want to see this before carrying a real satellite payload? 0? 5? I set the O/U at 2.5. and take the over.


They can launch their own stuff anytime but there's a pretty significant certification process to be certified for NSSL flights.

There goes part of the aft flap. They still have issues there.


Not necessarily. They removed a lot of heat shield tiles intentionally, abusing this ship for the data. But then again, maybe it was unintentional and they will be adjusting the design slightly for version 3.

I doubt they change too much for the last flight of version 2 other than moving some tiles around and messing with the flight profile.

What a massive success today!

How long til Flight 11? 5 ish weeks?
