This was an infographic I did three years ago. Obviously the hardware is out dated and some of the procedures. I am curious to know if future catches will catch the Starship as depicted in my graphic. Tomorrow’s catch is such a turning point with Starship, should it not go to plan, there is always the next flight. Not only is the next fight guaranteed, SpaceX promise “excitement guaranteed”. Go Ship 42!
Voici une infographie consacrée à l'IFT-15 du #Starship de @SpaceX, publiée aujourd'hui sur X par le talentueux graphiste @InfographicTony.
Le décollage est toujours prévu au plus tôt le vendredi 13 novembre à 23 h 45 (heure de Paris), sous réserve de l'approbation de la @FAANews.

This is why we suck with Starship, the longing for something unique, different, in the aerospace industry, yet totally familiar and comforting. It’s the first time I personally have felt we are living in the future, now. Standing on the shoulders of giants has never rang with more resonance.

It certainly is, and the concept is likely here to stay. Even if they don’t succeed with the catch on this one, they will try, try again until they do. What many forget is that SpaceX have flown two different boosters twice. They just need to nail that booster catch and obviously have a successful Starship upper stage catch under their belt.

@InfographicTony At first glance, you can already tell that seeing the world through Tony Bela’s eyes is something special. Something truly extraordinary awaits us! We’ve been waiting for this flight ever since Starship’s very first test. The excitement is immense, and so are our expectations!
@InfographicTony Your infographics are the best way to keep a whole flight straight, NASA's Apollo press kits used to do the same thing with mission profile diagrams. Flight 15's the big one though, first time they're trying to catch the ship as well as the booster.

Thanks, the most important parts of the graphic as far as the flight path, is orbit and deorbit, specifically the approach to Starbase, though fairly accurate, the orbit flight path is more to illustrate why the starship can’t just do one orbit and return to the launch site, that will be explained in the text version.
UPDATE V2.0: #SpaceX's #Starship Flight 15 infographic work-in-progress (unofficial). A text version is coming soon. Check back here leading up to launch for any graphic updates. This is the one we have been waiting for.
