SN9 and SN10 next to each other sure does look incredible.

Looked even more impressive when the engineer was on SN10's nosecone. Really put the size and scale of the Starships into perspective.

FFA approval granted today and the weather looks good :cool:

The FAA have also said SpaceX didn't have permission to exceed the maximum public risk allowance for the SN8 launch but proceeded anyway. The launch site was suspended until an investigation was complete.

Edit: Anyone else have a problem with Chromium 88 based browsers hanging when watching YouTube?

Looks like SN9 is a go. Approx T-1hr. This is gonna be a good one.

Malevolence · 2 Feb 2021 at 19:26

Looks great with the two of them sat there on the pads.

How is it possible for a truck to get on a road that's blocked at both ends? :mad:

Flibster · 2 Feb 2021 at 19:55

What a moron.

Potential 10-15 minute warning.

How far is SN9 from SN10, wondering if it goes splat on landing what sort of damage they could be looking at..

andy_mk3 · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:17

Not that far apart. It's fine, they've got plenty of others lined up

Man, that looks impressive.

SpaceX, can build a spaceship that will go to mars, can't run a YouTube stream that doesn't crash

Malevolence · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:32

Bugger! Oh well, onto the next. Only one Raptor reignited.

Trig · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:32

Pigeon_Killer · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:32

One of the engines didn't start did it?

Colonel_Klinck · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:35

restarting the raptors clearly still an issue. Still the rest of the flight was good and SN10 on the pad ready to try again.

andy_mk3 · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:35

Oops, try again

ajf · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:35

How many flights did they need with Falcon before a successful landing?

Flibster · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:36

Still impressive!

Shame that SN8 was a touch more successful. Looks like another engine failure.

Time for a fingertip check of SN10 though. Lots of components migrated from their intended assembly position at high speed.
