cringe
>>17024874there was zero problems during the flight for Starship, so the expectation is that they will try to catch
remember fairing catch? how they got rid of it in favor of directly landing in the ocean? maybe for starship they should do that too. seems to work alright. lots of benefits too.
Love the rapid jeeteration of SpaceX! #OccupyMars

>>17024885>On Friday, July 24, 2026, at 5:51 p.m. CT, Starship lifted off from Starbase, Texas on its thirteenth flight test. This was the second flight of the Starship and Super Heavy V3 vehicles and the first Starship flight to deploy the next generation Starlink V3 satellites.>The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor 3 engines and ascending over the Gulf of America. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space.>Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster performed a directional flip maneuver. The startup sequence was modified for this flight to be more robust to timing variability in engine startup and flip in the desired direction, which is done to increase overall performance. The booster successfully completed the high thrust portion of the boostback burn with all 33 engines, the first time with a Super Heavy V3, before ending the burn early. It attempted to relight its engines for the landing burn, with a subset successfully igniting before experiencing a hard splashdown in the Gulf.
>>17024889>After completing a full-duration ascent burn on all six Raptor engines, Starship achieved its planned velocity and trajectory. Starship then successfully deployed all 20 Starlink V3 satellites. SpaceX engineers were able to successfully communicate with every satellite using radio frequency and laser links and downloaded key telemetry from the satellites. The Starlink satellites were deployed on the pre-planned trajectory and are expected to have demised upon reentry approximately 20 minutes after deployment.>The vehicle also reignited a single Raptor engine in an in-space demonstration of a core capability for future orbital missions.>Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather critical data on the performance of its heatshield before executing a dynamic banking move to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean. After relighting all three Raptor engines, Starship executed a landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown, coming to rest intact in the Indian Ocean and providing critical views of an intact heatshield for the first time.
He just nuked the Starship program from orbit.(Ironic because it's a place Starship has never been)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFnHIxMcros

I bet PFA is going to ignore flight 14 completely if they actually catch the ship and whatever happens, he is going to keep insisting that Starship is a failure of a program just because they do actual hardware testingthe Blue Origin pad explosion was fine apparently, that is how a program should be (not to mention SLS)most of his channels seems to focus on 50 year old stuff
Flight 14 when?
ship status? is it still floating?
Heat shield was all fucked up. Non reusable.They will need 20 ships and 10 boosters on standby for 1 hls refuelling campaign.
https://xcancel.com/yatharthmann/status/2081016902890168741>A major legacy media outlet published an article about SpaceX based on false information I sent from a fake email address.>They didn't verify the information and even cited me as "people familiar with the matter.">I claimed that SpaceX would soon ramp down production of the Falcon first stage and fully transition to Starship.>I specifically wrote first stage, which is reusable.>However, the article reported that SpaceX was winding down production of the second stage instead.>That makes little sense, since Falcon second stages are expendable and can't simply be stockpiled in the quantities required for launches.
>>17024960lol so he was just fucking with them? lol. I hate journos this is great
>>17024877>zero problemsThe booster seemed to have a hard landing and didn't hover, at least according to the footage we saw. Was there an official statement saying the landing was a success?

For example if one tile breaks wouldn't they also need to replace ablative shielding? I don't think it's that simple as just putting on another tile.
>>17025052it's not that simple in rocketry
>>17025052should be relatively easy to inspect how much of the kaowool and ablative has been eaten up?if there is substantial ablation then you would have to strip more tiles and replace the ablative, but its not like its some one big singular sheet, they put the ablative on in many smaller pieces even now

>Both landers using cryogenics to launch from the MoonWhat if they stuck? How long can they survive? Is there any chance that the other HLS could rescue them?

>>17025524if you had told anyone from 2019 that it would be 7 years later and Starship would be where it is now, they would be shocked with the level of underdelivery and failure.>>17025547Thunderf00t vindicated btw. Years ago he explained why tile cracking is inevitable.
>>17025561The only thing to do is land an unmanned HLS near to the manned one in case the manned one has a propulsion failure. But that wont happen because it would near enough double the mission cost.

everybody gangsta until starship goes orbital
>>17025630Reminds me of Shuttle [math]\unicode{x1F92D}[/math]
>>17025397that's a callout to the Foundation series, but it doesn't have good connotations. "Terminus" in the book only had that name because they specifically selected a planet at the extreme edge of the galactic empire in order to become forgotten and out of the way when the empire collapsed.(Foundation's plot itself is built on flawed "psychohistory" that was blown out by chaos theory.)
>>17025763>We successfully tested that it sucks. Yay.
13 flights to test heat tiles that will be changed 13 more times before starship ever does anything
Did the videos from the starlink v3 of the starship ever release?
>>17025824t-this is why we test chud
>>17025833Pretty sure Elon posted it, but barely anything was visible because no light.
>>17025763They want the more aggressive profile because it means more payload, the tile test was to make sure it wasn't too mich for them.
>>17025840they want the profile to be as aggressive as possible but this specific test was to test the tile attachmentthey don't need to really test if a more aggressive profile is better, that just falls out of the math by itself
>>17025845>>17025840i.e. lets say that at this point they have tested the attachment of the tiles so that it isn't the limiting factor for pushing the acceleration envelope and max q even farther, lets say hypothetically the next weakest link is struts on the hot staging structureif the modified the hot staging to be beefier and then pushed max q even more, then they wouldn't be "a test for more payload", it would be a test to see if the beefier structure holds or not, but of course both of the test have the ultimate goal of getting more payloadbut saying that the test is to test more payload is pretty misleading IMO

I think what we might end up getting on Artemis IV is just one giant room, a lower “garage” with a tiny cuck airlock and elevator pad, and a little display console station.

UK is gutting space research>deep cuts were announced for dozens of facilities, instruments and projects, which are expected to result in about 800 job losses>The UKRI has an annual budget of nearly £10bn, but the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), which it funds, needs to make substantial savings after cost overruns as a result of soaring electricity and staff costs at UK facilities and high foreign exchange rates for international collaborations, such as the Cern nuclear research laboratory near Geneva.>There will be a 20% cut to UK participation in the Rubin Observatory in Chile, which only began work last month to capture the largest astronomical movie of all time. Another telescope, the Next-Generation Transit Survey, which is searching for solar systems similar to the Earth’s, received a 45% cut.>In further cuts, funding for future instruments on the Extremely Large Telescope in Chile, which is searching for life elsewhere, has been completely cut. The UK will also withdraw from the Event Horizon Telescope that allowed astronomers to image the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way.>A spokesperson for the STFC said the body had “undertaken a rigorous prioritisation process to focus investment on the areas that will deliver the greatest long-term scientific capability, impact and value for the UK”.https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jul/27/jodrell-bank-observatory-facing-closure-uk
>>17026546They don't seem to have accomplished anything. I hadn't heard of anything since Vegas, which was 5 years ago. I assumed they must have done more since then, but nope. Two in progress and many cancellations. This was supposed to be the future of travel, and all they have done is replace a couple of those little trains you get at airports.
>>17026560Grim. But now that the Lovell telescope is on the chopping block, maybe they will get told to knock it off. Also at the same time in the US you have the OMB trying to squeeze the life out of US research for the lols.

>>17027271Shipping container drones was a primary plot point in Ace Combat 7, where one country had a bunch shipped in and then deployed them from their enemy's dock to wreak havoc.It seems like a viable strategy if you can avoid detection long enough to deploy them.
>>17027271lol, seems like kind of little propellant?
>>17024818love the cgi ocean with lazy repeating textures
>>17026702define rapid
>>17027274There is significant interest in using rockets to deliver drones. the Army is currently working on a ATACMS/PrSM boosted drone delivery system.
>>17027221Without Starlink for communications, a 3 day war might have actually lasted 3 days.
>>17027311why? if you are going to launch such a big rocket, then just put the bomb on it and crash it into the target
>>17027309Earth is a water world
>>17027321And yet it's named after the ground. Curious. I am very smart.
>>17027315With drones you can get extra range, hit multiple widely spaced targets accurately, maneuver around blocking terrain (e.g. inside a building or tunnel), and loiter in case the target temporarily disappeared.To be clear, most of missiles they're looking at putting drone warheads on also have other more conventional warhead options, but it's an interesting capability to have.
>>17027322>flies to Oceania>lands in the oceanBravo elon
>>17027325i guess so. are the drones easy to track once they detach from the booster? maybe the element of surprise from a lone drone is what lets them be effective
>>17027271realn't
>>17027309Reminds me of Timmy(female) the whale.
>>17027254In the SpaceX tweet they are called "recovery team" and they are on an ~80 meter ship, so what will they recover? The whole Ship or just parts?
What's the point of recovering it if they're going to catch one soon anyway? seems too late for the data to be meaningfully useful
>>17027344The data is the recovery.
>>17027345stupid question. no, i will not elaborate
>>17027344>In the SpaceX tweet they are called "recovery team" and they are on an ~80 meter ship, so what will they recover?the team
Maybe I am delusional but I believe you can send 500 Navy Seals with one Starship as long there is water to land.
>>17027355seals get treated poorly by spacex and the faa
>>17027271this is the most retarded thing I've seen in a while. this is like wasting tons of resources on something that could be done for much cheaperreminds me of those ridiculous russian weapons fantasy demos some people posted a couple of years ago>>17027309did the chinese grab it already?
>>17027355What the fuck did you just fucking say about E2E Starship, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
>>17027359>did the chinese grab it already?SpaceX is still following it around and it's still in SpaceX's control, in so much as it's in anyone's control at all.
>>17027225>it's not real communism!
>It's overIt's overhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/katalyst-space?trk=public_post_follow-view-profile>During commissioning, the Katalyst team encountered a series of technical issues related to attitude control of the spacecraft. Over the last 72 hours, the LINK spacecraft has been in a multi-axis spin, causing a temporary loss of communications and subsequent bus reset. >Currently, the LINK spacecraft has two of three reaction wheels non-functional and partial RCS functionality. >LINK’s other major subsystems, electric propulsion, robotics, RPO sensing, and power are functioning properly, as well as S-band and L-band communications. >Over the coming days, Katalyst will work to reduce the body rates using the gimbaled electric propulsion thrusters and stabilize the spacecraft. We have alreadybegunthis series of burns and are seeing the intended effect.
>>17027371it's in international waters, right? I can imagine world powers starting a war over it>>17027229>>17027372>industrialism = communismamericans have been thoroughly brainwashed kek
>>17027375THIS IS WHY YOU TEST
>>17027377>it's in international waters, right? I can imagine world powers starting a war over itPer the Outer Space Treaty, Starship 40 is and shall remain the property of SpaceX. There is no right of salvage.
>>17027375noooooo :(
Why does Raptor 3 still have relight issues?
They're recovering it
>>17027382water-hammer induced ice-methane explosion because felon muskrat thinks it's a good idea to pump hot exhaust into your propellant tanks
>>17027384what will they call the ship? starshipship?
>>17027375>LINK spacecraftwho?
>>17027384b-but every redditor said they are going to destroy it!!
>>17027377>starting a war for something that can't even orbit
>>17027385That isn't even the failure mode of the idea you're suggesting, and they stopped tapping from the combustion chamber for ullage gas with Raptor 3.
>>17027377>doing the meme and being smug about itngmi
>>17027387The thing launched on a Pegasus to reboost that telescope.
>>17027382Please tell us whether the cause of those Raptors failing to relight for a third time was an issue with the engines, sensors or some other hardware.
>>17027405Man I don't know, I just wanted to see if anyone here had an idea what the issue is.
>>17027386elon said no more "star" namesit's just shipship

>>17027413>Implying the treaty is not enforced by force of arms
>>17027384what ship is fitted out to do that and put it where safely?I thought spacex had plans for something like this a couple years ago but ended up not doing it
>>17027344they deploy and recover the buyos and drones which SpaceX uses to take videos of the ship when it lands
>>17027384thats going to be a big ship
>>170274204u
The fat pig is still floating around
>>17027271ahh i'm gonna ycoooombinate
Page 9 is time for some boat flying
>>17027384they're sending ship 41
>>17027398>they stopped tapping from the combustion chamber for ullage gas with Raptor 3.did they thoughI've seen multiple claims of this but no actual sources, essentially just wishful thinking that SpaceX couldn't possibly keep doing it.

>>17027448why are you always impressed by people typing a whole lot of nothing?
>>17027408Honeypot for CCP spies (good)You're not going to catch many here though, lads
>>17027443Finally, a mission for the Spruce Goose

A fine addition to my collection
Duffy posted a good edit, wtf?https://x.com/SecDuffy/status/2082239982886908267

What if a pirate ship steals the Starship
>>17027490SpaceX ninjas vs pirates would make a great next episode.
>>17027490https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcjy4g2AGVs
>>17026984Just have some Optimuses(Optimii?) swim over and cut out the FTS charges.
what if china recovers it first, steals its secrets (what not to do), and then gets to mars before starship becomes orbital
>>17027496What if vulcans make first contact, idk bro. What if
what if the congo steals it and becomes a super global power?
What if I steal it and show it off at my local NAR club?
What if the crew of the Australian salvage vessel mutinies and delivers ship to China for a million dollars per crew member?
>>17027510you don't want to know
How can we be sure a Chinese submarine carrying a special ops team hasn't already intercepted Starship during the night and taken the engines and copied all the data?
>>17027510Remember what was happening to those drug boats earlier this year?
What if China hacked the SpaceX computers and changed the flight trajectory to land Starship in China? We would completely lose our technological lead. With how quickly they act, they would overtake us and we'd have to concede the future of LEO and the stars to China.
what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking?
What if China has less than 10 years left in its current political form? What if the death knell is has already begun ringing?

>>17027438 Hey be nice.. though she has plumped up over the years - stress eating maybe. Imagine how rich she is now - kind of based that she wants to stick around and be involved in getting SS up and running.
>>17027355>Navy Sealsnah, the Spess Forc needs its own SF componentwe can call them Xcom (for SpaceX Command) or something
