The SpaceX Recovery team is still working to recover Flight 13’s Starship from the Indian Ocean. They’ve been overcoming challenging conditions and increasingly rough seas as they attempt to guide the 52m long spacecraft to port

Starship relight holy crap

[Bearing @bear_ing]

Holy shit they’re doubling down, and asking that people do not share the footage. Insane.

🌔☀️ Noteer in je agenda: grote #zonsverduistering boven Europa! Op woensdag 12 augustus schuift de maan vóór de zon. In delen van IJsland en Spanje wordt het volledig donker, maar ook in de Benelux is het een fraaie eclipse. Rond 20u is de zon bij ons voor ruim 90% verduisterd:

Red sprites from last night.
Last night was crazy. I captured over 60 individual sprite events.
Captured from southern Minnesota looking toward the storm over Missouri / Illinois.

[Ryan Hall, Y’all @ryanhallyall]

I have never seen a tornado do this before.

Watch this incredibly rare, looping rope tornado stretch out over Illinois live on stream.

[EricTheCat 🇺🇸 @EricTheSpaceCat]

Red sprites I captured the night before last. 1/6 speed to show detail.
Captured from southern Minnesota looking toward a storm in southern Iowa.

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

Successful landing on the first attempt of Starship V3!

Way to redeem themselves after the V2 series of issues, especially after losing an RVac during assent!

Congrats to the Starship team!!!

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

SAY WHATTTT!!!!!!!!

Okay yeah thats the best view of all time 🤯

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

If this ain't one of the most predictable outcomes of the day

SpaceX is such a bad ass company. In their IPO filing, they wrote this:

• The first private company to develop and launch a liquid-fuel rocket to reach orbit (2008)

• The first private company to successfully dock a private spacecraft with the International Space Station (2012)

• The first to successfully propulsively land (2015) and refly orbital-class rocket boosters (2017)

• The first to begin deploying a large-scale LEO broadband satellite constellation (2019);

• The first private company to transport astronauts to orbit, returning America's ability to fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station (2020)

• The first to manufacture consumer-grade phased-array user terminals at scale (2022);
The first to deploy a large-scale LEO satellite-to-mobile constellation (2025)

• The first to build a gigawatt-scale Al training cluster and largest coherent supercomputer (2026)

• The first gigawatt-scale Megapack battery installation (2026); and

• The only company capable of building orbital AI compute at scale.

BOOM.

@JAtanackov That's correct, but unfortunately not everyone knows that, felt a bit misleading.

We know what a downburst looks like… but this is Colorado, and it was below freezing at ground level. This was a snow event… a cloud burst of snow.

But what else do you notice? A burst from f***ing what? Where’s the big cloud? I watched this come together from nothing in minutes- there WAS NO CLOUD five minutes earlier.

This is not how pressure and temperature and vapor work at these temperatures… unless you have a GEC amplification event.

I’ve now seen 6 since 2017. They never break the boundary layer but you spot their influence.

What happens when these form the column all the way to the ground?
