For those interested in Starship development, once again


Feb 2, 2021, 11:48 AM

SpaceX is going to attempt to launch Starship SN9. It will reach 10 miles in altitude, shutting off the engines, and doing a belly flop skydive back to the launch pad area. It will then relight the engines and swing back into an upright position for a vertical landing attempt.

Probably will happen in the next 2 hours if the FAA doesn't get in the way again. SpaceX will likely stream the launch but till they do, here is a link to Everyday Astronaut's stream:

I am not riding on any starships to anywhere...

But I hope a lot of people do.

Hollywood people too! I would pay for a one way ticket for Pelosi, Schumer, Biden/Harris , Whoopi Goldberg and most of the View host as well as many many more.

I can appreciate the effort...the expensive efforts in trying to do something to discover what most are curious about. What keeps ringing in my head is... be careful of what you are looking for....for what you are looking for might find you and might not like what it finds or sees in us.

Elon's doing some amazing stuff but if I was going to ride in one of those things at the moment I'd want to step out and parachute down on my own before it headed for touchdown.

SpaceX seems to having some issues sticking their landings.
