Pude que me critiqueis por esto.
Pero creo que esta es la única foto producída de momento por el programa Starship hasta la fecha que tiene el potencial de convertirse en una foto que en el futuro sea un icono del programa.
SpaceX has released a new blog post about Starship’s 14th flight today.
“During Starship’s ascent burn, a single Raptor vacuum engine shut down early. Starship still achieved its planned, passively safe suborbital trajectory by burning its remaining five engines for longer than planned to compensate for the loss of thrust.
After entering its suborbital trajectory, the flight control team assessed Starship’s systems and determined the three sea-level Raptors engines needed for subsequent burns were healthy and gave a “go” for orbital operations. Starship then reignited a single Raptor sea-level engine to perform an orbit insertion burn and entered into orbit around Earth for the first time.
After a brief coast, Starship then deployed all 26 Starlink V3 satellites. Contact was made soon after with every satellite over laser links, ground stations, and Starlink user terminals. The satellites will now conduct on-orbit checkouts and raise their orbits before they begin serving customers.
Following payload deploy, Starship entered into a coast phase around Earth. Out of an abundance of caution given the engine issue experienced during ascent, the flight control team decided to limit the duration spent on orbit and proceeded with deorbiting Starship to a splashdown location in the northern Pacific Ocean. This area was one of two pre-coordinated landing zones identified before launch that was cleared of sea and air traffic.
Starship then relit a single Raptor sea-level engine and performed its first ever deorbit burn. That maneuver successfully brought the vehicle out of orbit and sent Starship through atmospheric reentry and descent to the intended splashdown point.
The first orbital Starship flight concluded with the vehicle relighting all three Raptor sea-level engines in a landing burn and flip maneuver before splashing down on target in the Pacific Ocean.”

Así fue el Apagón analógico en Uruguay.
Casi 70 años de una etapa que no mereció un clip histórico en ninguno de los tres canales que aún estaban operativos ( Canal 5 dejó de emitir análogo hace un tiempo).

Starship: la FAA acaba de emitir su reporte final sin encontrar impactos ambientales significativos para las operaciones de contingencia en las trayectorias de reingreso orbital propuestas por @SpaceX, que además agrega otras nuevas a las previamente aprobadas.
Además de Hawaii, el Pacífico Central y el Sureste del Pacífico, ahora se agrega el Pacífico Norte, trayectoria de regreso a Starbase.
Además autoriza en cierre temporario del espacio aéreo para cuando se realize el regreso orbital a Texas.
La FAA estima que 300 vuelos pueden ser afectados, considerando unos 30m de cierre de tráfico aéreo (600 por hora).
Esto allana el camino para que la FAA modifique la licencia que le permitiría a SpaceX llegar a órbita y regresar a la Tierra, incluyendo Starbase y sitios de contingencia si llega a pasar algo.
SpaceX engineers spent several days inspecting Ship 40 in the waters off Christmas Island. They collected heatshield samples and gained vital insight into how the vehicle handled reentry with improvements now planned on future vehicles
Holy $#*! Well my friends, I've managed to get in touch with brilliant international wildlife photographer Chris Bray on Christmas Island and he just grabbed some shots of Ship 40 for us! Take a look at this!🤯
