I have so many questions about this image and I’d like to know everyone’s thoughts about it.
Why is there an office inside the prop transfer demo starship?
Why does it have ventilation? Could ‘prop transfer demo’ not necessarily mean a tanker starship?
If this is a crewed variant of starship, is it based off of HLS?
What part of the upper ship is this in?
If this is to be a prop transfer demo ship that actually flies, is it possible that it is the uncrewed HLS demo?
.@NASA and @Axiom_Space are advancing both the #AxEMU as well as a tailored configuration called the Sortie suit for moonwalkers to use during the early @NASAArtemis missions. The Sortie suit doesn’t replace the AxEMU but is a parallel effort to ensure flexibility in mission architecture. The Sortie configuration spacesuit is designed for short-duration lunar surface excursions.
Mocked up a Starship telemetry ui:
Tries to retain the new aesthetic style but brings back the information offered by the OG
Also retaining the new mission max alt/speed sliders and the 0.1km altitude inc.
The only downside is it ate up a bunch of space from the timeline.

I know I’ve said this for the past like two starship flights, but it is once again within the realm of possibility that I can go to Starbase for flight 15, and even more likely that I will be able to go to starships first flight out of Florida if it is to take place from mid December to mid January. I will keep you all posted on what comes of this.
Two years is absurdly ambitious to go from nothing to a first launch but I wouldn’t put it out of the realm of possibility. Either way, I’ll be there to document every step of it!
Elon Musk says SpaceX is aiming for the first Starship launch from Starbase Louisiana in 2028, a year ahead of the 2029 target. "I think we'll be at scale, launching from Louisiana at scale in 29. I'm highly confident."
