Today’s flight test aims to expand the envelope on ship and booster capabilities and get closer to bringing reuse of the entire system online.

SpaceX (@SpaceX) on X

Objectives include the booster once again returning to the launch site for catch, reigniting a ship Raptor engine while in space, and testing a suite of heatshield experiments and maneuvering changes for ship reentry and descent over the Indian Ocean

Twitter · Nov 19, 2024, 9:25 PM

[devout cave]

I'm thinking they won't be going for catch this time

[jaunty shale]

I hope they do

[tidal glen]

what causes the triple pop? engines, chines, and fins?

SECO

[jaunty shale]

meco

seco

[tidal glen]

we got lucky on flight 5 huh

[jaunty shale]

there we go

[jaunty shale]

yeah lol

[tidal glen]

SO THIS CAM DOES EXIST

[mystic cave]

Well I mean this is a limits pusher flight

[fickle hull]

"orbital insertion"?

[mystic cave]

SHOW US THE NANA

[icy heart]

what are those bits

[jaunty shale]

engine cam goes hard

[unkempt cradle]

fr

[stray crystal]

Who belched on stream

[mystic cave]

So my logic was right

[jaunty shale]

shame no catch tho

[icy heart]

what kind of orbit are they in here

[mystic cave]

this WAS aboring flight

[tidal glen]

suborbit

[jaunty shale]

at least we watched the splashdown

[lucid pike]

[icy heart]

they said "nominal orbit insertion"

[orchid dragon]

dump tsla

[jaunty shale]

maybe not boring but less exciting than flight 5

[tidal glen]

we are privileged for thinking this was lame

[halcyon kiln]

Yeah I've been wanting to see it too over

[real thunder]

"initally we were good and then we tripped a commit criteria"

[tidal glen]

yeah they’ve always said that

[icy lake]

So for the app’s record, is this a “failed” booster landing?

[halcyon kiln]

Teue

[icy heart]

its not an orbit though

[stray crystal]

True

[icy heart]

so why say it

[jaunty shale]

no

[steady flicker]

"Never been more disappointed"

[willow nimbus]

probably would be less criteria if their landing area wasn't their launch area

[topaz forge]

Partial?

[jaunty shale]

yes

[fickle hull]

failed catch, successful landing

[willow nimbus]

the blue check as well 😭

[burnt ridge]

Current mood: pissed

[fickle hull]

partial success

[hardy lake]

Lmao

[unkempt cradle]

what do we say, go or no go for relight?

[fierce wadi]

Do we know why they didnt do the catch?

[hardy lake]

“Offshore abort”

[fickle hull]

not all success criteria were met, but some were.

[timid cedar]

by the way they BETTER have recorded hotstaging from that engine bay cam

and they BETTER upload it

[willow nimbus]

I thought you said reflight and got very confused

[fickle hull]

(soft landing happened)

[icy lake]

Seems to be something to do with the booster
Probably out of the planned track?

[jaunty shale]

I reckon they will try

when's relight

[fickle hull]

t+37 mins

[tidal glen]

how would you count CRS-16

[hardy lake]

Bets on starship recentering intact

[mystic cave]

Smart recovery lol

[devout cave]

"please do not attempt to approach the booster in the water"

[steady flicker]

He has "_FBI" in his @

[stray crystal]

Well, I'm glad orange man got the lamest flight so far at least

[icy lake]

Failed landing of course

[jaunty shale]

heh

[stray crystal]

This flat spin nominal?

[jaunty shale]

yes

[valid sigil]

Getting in a boat as we speak

[willow nimbus]

oh no

[tidal glen]

pretty much the same thing imo

[timid cedar]

successful landing, failed recovery

[unkempt cradle]

a description is in check for this

[fierce wadi]

Probably yeah

[mystic cave]

@strong plank fuck.

[timid cedar]

that's close enough to the genre i'd put it in

[fickle hull]

depending on their attitude for relight, maybe.

[burnt ridge]

💀💀💀

[tidal glen]

do none of yall know who burt macklin is

[marble wolf]

lolrip

[unkempt cradle]

a bit explaining why the catch failed but the landing was succesful in the second descent profile

[steady flicker]

No

[timid cedar]

bruh

[tidal glen]

CRS-16 disagrees

[timid cedar]

what is this music

[tidal glen]

not as good as flight 3s

[timid cedar]

it didn’t go back to the tower as it was supposed to so it doesn’t count

[mystic cave]

thunderf00t is rolling I bet

[fickle hull]

oh probably

[orchid dragon]

[tidal glen]

if it diverted because margins were extra tight due to trump i will laugh so hard

[fickle hull]

oo that is one spicey OLM

[stray shale]

What time will the relight happen at?

[tidal glen]

sometime

[willow nimbus]

I can not imagine what trump is saying right now

[marble wolf]

SD-100/160 reference

[willow nimbus]

who's that?

[unkempt cradle]

and this landing was aborted casue trumps negative rizz aura pushed the booster away

[timid cedar]

a lot of people don't want to go close to him even if given the chance
after getting up to like 50 miles away from him, you think B13 wants to go BACK!?

[fickle hull]

they have a lot of lights looking at that banana

[marble wolf]

real

[tidal glen]

WHAT

Ted Cruz?

[opal harness]

[marble wolf]

touch spaceflight hardware

[willow nimbus]

especially not low quality ones from the side

[burnt ridge]

Screw B13 all my homies hate B13

[fickle hull]

I guess the metal print I'm buying for christmas is the one from flight 5 then...

[willow nimbus]

I'm also not american

[unkempt cradle]

isnt he democratc now lmao

[tidal glen]

this flight really is giving SN9 vibes

[timid cedar]

uh??

[jaunty shale]

B12 goat

[marble wolf]

I don’t think so

[jaunty shale]

genuinely

[fickle hull]

Can we have a side-by-side nanacam and engine bay cam during relight?

[burnt ridge]

Yeah it is

[stray crystal]

No, he's just anti-Trump

Still Republican

[marble wolf]

I think he ditched trump and tried running for red himself

[tidal glen]

no he’s just a never trumper, which is understandable because they wanted to hang pence during J6

[unkempt cradle]

b13 is a pussy ass bitch frfr🗣️ 🗣️ 💯 💯

[unkempt cradle]

ah

[unkempt cradle]

makes sense

[devout cave]

tolerances made too tight

[lucid pike]

yeah because a Trump mob threatened to hang him

[hardy lake]

BOOOOOOOOOOster 13

[tidal glen]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Pence_2024_presidential_campaign

[modest wigeon]

at what cost???

[fickle hull]

what actually is that banana? It's not actually a banana...

[marble wolf]

yea

it is one

[tidal glen]

13 being an unlikely number trend continues

[stray crystal]

The fact that Mike Pence and Liz Cheney are considered paragons of normalcy within the GOP at this point still boggles my mind

[fickle hull]

really?

It seems to rounded to be a banana

[rotund badge]

that banana is still larger than my

[modest wigeon]

“Ditched trump” my brother in Christ Maga nut jobs wanted to hang him of course he got out of that cult asap

[marble wolf]

prove it

[lucid pike]

We need to see two men kiss in space before it's too late...

[fickle hull]

and too yellow for a real banana that's been sitting inside a rocket for days.

[tidal glen]

ISR is at T+37:46

[mystic cave]

maybe put a green one in

[tidal glen]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO WAY

[fickle hull]

that'll be why no catch

[lucid pike]

They said it was a stuffed banana

[jaunty shale]

lol

[mystic cave]

ah so tower was why

[burnt ridge]

Could be tower related

[fickle hull]

maybe they use that for communicating with the booster for catch, which is why they had to abort.

[real thunder]

bent antenna?

[lucid pike]

They said tower was go

[willow nimbus]

lmao

[jaunty shale]

didnt they say tower was fin tho

[fickle hull]

When did that damage happen??

[burnt ridge]

But idk if that would’ve been enough

[icy lake]

It’s pretty windy today at Starbase isn’t it?

[tidal glen]

presumably 33 raptors

[modest wigeon]

Yep. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/25/trump-hang-mike-pence-chant-jan-6

[devout cave]

yo what

[modest wigeon]

This man has just been fucking re elected btw!

[jaunty shale]

how

[hazy beacon]

Why is it a partial landing failure if CRS-16 is just a failure

[burnt ridge]

Agree

[tidal glen]

i’m with the pad here

[mystic cave]

taking a nap

[burnt ridge]

It should be a failed landing imo

[orchid dragon]

cars, space now boats?

[lucid pike]

It's a big tube full of air at this point so...

[devout cave]

are you a bot

[tidal glen]

will it get demo 2’d

[fickle hull]

Partial wasn't an option for CRS-16

[stray crystal]

I assume because they still "landed", just not at the pad. Weird way of classifying it

[unkempt cradle]

EA has a cam on something flaoting where the booster landing lmao

[jaunty shale]

it blew up

[timid cedar]

the upper tank exploded so the fire mostly burnt out from there

[tidal glen]

same with CRS-16

[orchid dragon]

no

[mystic cave]

wtf is that

[devout cave]

yeah it's the liquid methane tank

[fickle hull]

probably the booster.

[burnt ridge]

It’s the booster

[stray crystal]

Oh then idk

[mystic cave]

reuse it

SMART reuse

[fickle hull]

CRS-16 had obvious problems with the booster.

[lucid pike]

Half of it

[timid cedar]

because B13's landing here is a contingency plan
CRS-16's wasn't it just screwed up

[hardy lake]

Guys

[timid cedar]

oh

uh

interesting

[icy lake]

Been thinking about this one, it did a successful landing burn (B1050’s one was with the booster rapidly rotating, hard to call that burn nominal)
I can mark that to full failure in a heartbeat but lemme discuss with others first

[hardy lake]

CRS landed

[tidal glen]

CRS-16 was also a contingency

[hardy lake]

Y’all are faded

[strong peak]

anyone elses stream keep buffering?

[unkempt cradle]

good feedback

[lucid pike]

Is CRS SpX-16 the one where the gridfin snapped off?

[strong peak]

didn't snap off, but the actuator commited soduku

[tidal glen]

yeah

[devout cave]

wait when tf did a gridfin snap off

[tidal glen]

so i guess this delays booster reflight a little

[fickle hull]

sonic vibes ooo

[tidal glen]

also does this trigger a mishap

i assume no?

[timid cedar]

no

[coarse sonnet]

SpX-16 would've landed if it wasn't programmed to ditch and I will die on that hill

[jaunty shale]

dont think so

[fickle hull]

no this was built into the flight plan

[jaunty shale]

but theres gonna be some time till Flight 7

[halcyon kiln]

When is burn

[timid cedar]

That was gonna be the case regardless

[lucid pike]

Read the messages directly above lol

[fickle hull]

T+37

[jaunty shale]

yeah exactly

[tidal glen]

is nagasaki okay? that was a big fireball

[hardy lake]

How long into flight rn

the plane one goes hard

incredible stuff, thanks Eric

ther plane looks pretty old so having that in the backround and having modern starship in the front goes hard

[jaunty shale]

average berger moment

[tawdry kernel]

no way

[hardy lake]

I love engines

[icy lake]

[willow nimbus]

stupid question but how does one affix a banana to hang and not float about in zerog

[jaunty shale]

even engine 3?

[willow nimbus]

or is it not affixed

[tidal glen]

what did engine 3 do

[hardy lake]

Does this hurt the booster

[fickle hull]

what's the glowing?

[real thunder]

oh wow lightning

[jaunty shale]

how long is the burn

[tidal glen]

remember when musk said starship could launch in a cat 5 cane

[real thunder]

seconds

[topaz forge]

They have not said

[jaunty shale]

not that long I assum3

[tidal glen]

presumably less than 40 minutes

[jaunty shale]

nice lightning

[devout cave]

that lightning is so pretty

[jaunty shale]

yeah probably

[tidal glen]

ONLY ONE??

[jaunty shale]

yes

[devout cave]

they don't need more

[tidal glen]

okay but still

i love asymmetrical thrust

[devout cave]

is that glowing venting

[fickle hull]

Do they have two bouys? One for each landing zone (since it changes a bit because of the burn)?

[jaunty shale]

raptor gimbal is wild so

[valid comet]

what is that glowing?

rcs?

[timid cedar]

I'm hoping it isn't a fire

[tidal glen]

this is true i love the vector engine

[jaunty shale]

entry in about 10 mins

[tidal glen]

beacon maybe?

[devout cave]

to prove they can actually light the engine in space, to make sure they can actually de-orbit

[hardy lake]

Why is it orange

[fickle hull]

flight 7 orbital?

[tardy drift]

to demonstrate that the fuel and oxidzer can flow into the engine with enough rate that it can light and continue to be light

[hardy lake]

Oh she’s going down

[orchid dragon]

ok sweet

[tidal glen]

do they still do the fuel dump to sim payloads like they did on F2

[real thunder]

plasma already?

[tidal glen]

down down down down

[devout cave]

WHAT is that glowing

[tidal glen]

RCS i think

[fickle hull]

is this early plasma, that we usually don't see because it's so bright??

[mystic cave]

Yeah that looks like rcs

[real thunder]

oh sunrise

[jaunty shale]

what is going on

[tidal glen]

it’s doing reorientation so

[hardy lake]

Omg…..

[fickle hull]

oh sunrise and RCS

[jaunty shale]

oh yeah rcs

[hardy lake]

She’s gorgeous

[jaunty shale]

kinda makes sense

[mystic cave]

sunrise rcs

[orchid dragon]

gyatt

[fickle hull]

the tiles look like they're glowing though

[jaunty shale]

looks like re entry lol

[devout cave]

that's def plasma wtf

[hardy lake]

Wonder what she looks like from the ground

[jaunty shale]

its not plasma

[trail skiff]

It is

[fickle hull]

it's orange though

sunlight? Really?

[jaunty shale]

118km

[trail skiff]

It’s just so much darker there so it’s easier to see

[devout cave]

remember that phenominon where the shuttle would have a constant glow around the tail, what if it's that?

[hardy lake]

Is it plasma or rcs

[jaunty shale]

it could be that

[hardy lake]

Or both

Now it’s def plasma

[tidal glen]

yeah i agree

[fickle hull]

yeah early ionisation. There's still atmosphere at 114km, just not so much that plasma is visible when in light

[tidal glen]

there’s still atmosphere at 400km

the atmosphere never ends

[orchid dragon]

idk that's kinda sus

[tidal glen]

just like friendship

[fickle hull]

yea

[jaunty shale]

not enough for that much plasma

That’s not plasma it’s a vent

yeah
