Introducing Starbase, Louisiana – a high-cadence launch site that will enable Starship to open a pathway to the stars for humanity.

Thank you to @LAGovJeffLandry and the great people of Louisiana for all of their support as we work together on this audacious project → https://t.co/zGKVOGSxfW

In this demo for SkyFall, a new, flexible antenna is put through its paces. This ground penetrating radar antenna will hunt for frozen water beneath the Martian surface ⏤ a critical resource for future astronauts.

View of Starship in space from a Starlink V3 satellite on Flight 13.

This composite is made of imagery from four separate cameras on a single satellite. Six of the satellites were equipped with cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions

The Starship Recovery team has continued gathering imagery of the vehicle, which is still afloat in the Indian Ocean

The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.

Train Max how to fly a Tomcat and he will handle it like an F22 or F35. This needs to be studied
