@grok War die EU-Beitrittskampagne 1994 in Österreich bewusst auf wirtschaftliche Vorteile ausgerichtet, während die politischen Folgen verschwiegen wurden?

Austria demands a €2160 tax per flight + €12 per ticket tax

Vienna airport became too expensive for Ryan Air and Wizzair so they left

the airport of Bratislava (30 min train ride form Vienna) got a 2x increase in passengers

now to return back from Rome to Vienna, i had to fly to Bratislava and then rush to catch the last night train (next is in 5 hours)

It’s one of those small things that drops your quality of life a bit

a longer flight here, a less convent transfer there

but then a lot of them happen, and then all of a sudden your city is no longer comfortable to live in and your convenience and freedom disappear

so low coster airline leaving Vienna is a great example of how crazy tax and degrowth policies of the Western Europe harm people and how fast Eastern Europe is to benefit from the situation

The Starship catch everyone's waiting for won't happen on launch day.

If Flight 15 gets off the pad when the window opens on Friday, the ship isn't due back at the tower until Saturday afternoon. That's 22 and a half hours later.

I animated the whole flight, countdown to catch, straight off SpaceX's own timeline. Every time below is local Starbase time (CST), assuming liftoff right at window open.

FRIDAY
4:45:00 PM · Liftoff on 33 Raptors. The window closes at 6:00
4:45:58 PM · Max Q
4:47:21 PM · Hot staging. The ship lights its engines while it's still attached to the booster
4:47:26 PM · Booster flips and burns back toward Texas
4:51:35 PM · Booster catch attempt. If a health check fails, it goes into the Gulf instead
4:53:09 PM · Ship engines off. Right now it's on a path that would drop it safely into the ocean
5:11:10 PM · One Raptor fires for 20 seconds to put it in orbit. That only happens if the ship is healthy
5:20:01 PM · The slot door opens and 26 Starlink V3 satellites slide out, one by one
6:02:40 PM · Last one's out

OVERNIGHT
Then it just waits. About 14 laps of the planet at roughly 275 km, with three go/no-go checks: 6:12 PM Friday, midnight, and 1:26 PM Saturday. Fail one and the ship comes down early in the ocean near Hawaii or Chile.

SATURDAY
2:20:57 PM · 10-second deorbit burn
2:55:46 PM · Hits the atmosphere belly first and the heat shield starts to glow
3:15:13 PM · Below the speed of sound, falling flat, steering with its 4 flaps
3:17:16 PM · 3 engines relight and it flips upright
3:17:26 PM · Down to 2 engines
3:17:33 PM · Down to 1
3:17:34 PM · The arms close

What I'll be watching:
• The booster relight. On Flight 14 only 11 of its 13 landing engines came back
• The ship's engines on the way up. Flight 14 lost a vacuum Raptor on ascent
• Entry. Controllers can still end the flight here by tumbling the ship
• 3 sea-level Raptors relighting after 22 hours in space. That's the big one

If both catches work, it's the first time an orbital rocket has ever been fully recovered. It still needs final FAA approval, and every time above moves if the launch slips.

Event times and engine counts in the video follow SpaceX's timeline. The speed and altitude readouts are simulated.

🚀🇺🇸 Starship vol 15 : point ce matin !
🔹 Ship 42 est désormais empilé sur Booster 22 au Pad 2.
🔹 Fenêtre de lancement s’ouvre aujourd’hui à 23h45 (Paris).
🔹 Météo très favorable (96 % GO).
🔹 À cette heure, la licence FAA n’a pas encore été confirmée…
