Roses are red, violets are blue, I’ll never say “booster offshore divert” to you ✌️❤️

Great find here!
Later during ship entry the plasma fields start to have a green hue, seen on the webcast camera views.

Aftershock II has officially become the highest and fastest amateur rocket of all time! Following its successful launch to space on Oct. 20, 2024, an internal data review concluded a world-record altitude of 470,400 ft and a top speed of 5,283 ft/s (Mach 5.5).

One year after Shockwave and 6 months after Aftershock I, we have successfully flown Aftershock II to space.

More details to come soon as we process the data!

Launch and return are fundamental techniques for Starship’s fully and rapidly reusable design
