I am so hyped for this upcoming Starship flight. Every time I just think about a ship catch adrenaline sears through my veins and my heartrate increases. I don't know how I'm gonna get through this flight man 😂

@RCDN26041991 I believe Elon gave a presentation on it close to a year ago

SpaceX is still targeting Friday for Flight 15, pending regulatory approval.

If they get off, the booster catch is Friday night UK, with planned live views from Ship 42 in orbit. The ship catch is Saturday night UK.

Live from 9:15 PM UK tomorrow.

@gatewaytomarz @FloridaBartley They don’t aim for the tower but instead swing into at the last second so I’d guess the pad would probably be back up in 2 months

[Starbase Updates @StarbaseUpdated]

@RCDN26041991 It’ll probably aim next to them and swing into them last second

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Super Heavy moved to the launch pad at Starbase. Booster 22 is the first Super Heavy V3 booster planned to return to the launch site for catch and was used for final catch testing upon arrival, including a suspended squeeze test at catch height

[Nick | Taxi2Mars @Taxi2MarsUK]

This Friday's Mars Live is a Flight 15 watch-along.

The plan: catch the booster at the tower, then catch Ship 42 too. No ship has ever been caught.

Fri 13 Nov, 9:15 PM UK. Pre-show first, then SpaceX's webcast.

Starship flight maneuvers

@Taxi2MarsUK Hopefully although being about to see the different components of the different versions would be nice to try understand them

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.

Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

@tetsuoai It troubles me greatly that we do not yet see any sign of aliens

[Dave Limp @davill]

Our new booster engine, Northstar, was built from the ground up by a scrappy team focused on weight, cost, manufacturability, and performance. More than 65% of the engine is additively manufactured using our in-house 3D printing capability. Northstar can be assembled in less than a day and produces 715,000 pounds of thrust.

Fancy naming the UK's first ever space debris removal mission?

Enter our competition to get your name on the spacecraft!

Our Active Debris Removal Mission, led by @ClearSpaceToday will remove two defunct satellites from orbit. 🛰️

@Taxi2MarsUK I’m almost sure I’m wrong but would the 5 piston positions in the centre of the one being built not imply a 35 engine booster?

[Starbase Updates @StarbaseUpdated]

@Taxi2MarsUK I hope they get it back online before July 2027

[Starbase Updates @StarbaseUpdated]

@Taxi2MarsUK I hope they will but a wise thing to remember is: one who sets their expectations low has more to gain by success and less to lose by their expectations being met

[Starbase Updates @StarbaseUpdated]

@Taxi2MarsUK I am watching live but it won’t let the messages send, my name is also not blue now. The same is happening on your shorts but not on others
