The SpaceX Recovery team is still working to recover Flight 13’s Starship from the Indian Ocean. They’ve been overcoming challenging conditions and increasingly rough seas as they attempt to guide the 52m long spacecraft to port
Ship40 recovery update
It should be dawn at Ship40 within a few hours.
As best we can tell, Normand Ranger appears to have affixed a tow to Ship40 (possibly with an inflated “sled” assist). Skimmer Tide and GO Australis are positioned alongside - either with additional lines or simply holding station.
GO Australis has now been at sea for more than 20 days, though one of the other vessels may have replenished them after arriving yesterday.
Also worth noting: GO Australis carries the excellent photography team - should we be expecting a recovery documentary?
Current conditions show some outward flow working against their progress toward Western Australia. At best they may be making around 4 knots of headway (My Radar Pro map clip annotated for educational purposes).
Will be watching closely.

@d_p_ball@EricLDaugh You have the same problems but can’t protect yourself without the government locking you up.
Normal everyday citizens use guns responsibly, it’s criminals that use them from mischief.
At least you’re towing the line so your government doesn’t arrest you

@d_p_ball@EricLDaugh Innocent people die every day in every country by countless things.
Our founders ensured we would have the ability to protect ourselves from tyranny - and not just that of other individuals, but our government itself and especially yours.
Clearly you wouldn’t understand.
