Starship: Catch & release - Though not planned for the first few launches, with the help of @LunarCaveman, I have put together this infographic explaining how SpaceX plans to catch the biggest operational rocket in history on future missions.
For those interested, we still have a dozen copies of Starship Shuffle left at a steeply discounted $5.99!

Perhaps one day, new industry connections will inspire us to crack open Stage Zero once again, but until then...
Ad Astra & Godspeed!
Hello SpaceX fans!
It is with heavy hearts that Kyle and I announced the immediate suspension of the Stage Zero board game. In light of the incredible rise in domestic manufacturing costs, we were unable to secure ethical international production. 1/5
We met many amazing people, and heard tons of heart-felt stories. We are so grateful to everyone who made an effort to help promote and support Stage Zero. It is indeed an incredible game, and a worthy step-up from our first game Starship Shuffle. 4/5
To speed this process, Starship Shuffle is now 50% off. For just $9.99 you can own a copy of our first #spacex inspired boardgame! Please pass this promotion on to any boardgame or SpaceX fans that might be interested. Visit https://t.co/F8RCbK86Mx to order!
Starship Boardgame Update!
Over the last few months we have been silently stressing over the physical production of Stage Zero. The board game was fully finished and funded, however domestic manufacturing costs in the last year have risen by over 250%. We would LOSE money. 1/3
Unfortunately we must move manufacturing to China. This requires new logistics that are not compatible with our USA-based warehouse. Manufacturing of Stage Zero is now paused so we can focus our efforts moving out our inventory of Starship Shuffle from our Texas warehouse. 2/3
@CarmanDecelles Great question! When in doubt, just think what could happen in real life. A booster can be built first, then engines added. Or part of a booster, and a couple engines. Any combo works. Thanks for asking!

The tower that builds the tower. This is a modular card, able to extend itself for stacking a #Starship without the chopsticks! It was fun to design; couldn't have done it without old references from @LabPadre and those tagged in the images. Make sure to follow them!

Oh boy! There's a lot to talk about! ❤️🚀
Starship 25 comes back for a static fire. @elonmusk's @SpaceX tests a water-cooled plate for Starship, @NASA chooses a second moon lander from @blueorigin, and the Artemis II crew is getting ready!
