Landing burn and splashdown of Starship on Flight 13

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

This is the result of many bad legacy decisions taken by UKRI hastily and without proper consultation, overseen by a government department that no longer exists. Surely the new @andyburnham government will want to take time to review this.

@ZoeJardiniere That was rain? I thought it was a flock of birds taking a piss.

[GW @GreggWayling]

Wow! 😳

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

Amazing to see how well this spaceship survived.
First-ever soft splashdown that left Starship intact & floating, allowing close-up inspection of the heat shield tiles after the wicked heat of reentry.
Onwards to catch it next time - congrats to the whole team @SpaceX !

Liftoff of Starship!

Anyone hear a large boom in Essex? I think it was a sonic boom. Windows rattled.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Additional preflight testing on Super Heavy complete. Now starting preparations to launch Starship as soon as tomorrow, Thursday, July 23. Weather is currently a significant watch item for launch

I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.

One giant leap for mankind

History was made on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first to set foot on the Moon.

For more than 5 decades, the total number of moonwalkers has remained at 12. NASA will change that with Artemis IV.

Football won

[GW @GreggWayling]

I'm not too surprised by this score. I never rated the French defence in this World Cup and I said if they come up against a better attack they would easily concede.
