15 min recap of the launch from EJ for the short attention spanned among us.

Oh, look! Something shiny!

To me, it seemed like they never really got control over Starship orientation after engine cutoff.

It was rolling throughout reentry.

Starship launch #4 tomorrow (Thursday) morning!!! The launch window opens at 7am CDT!!!

Goal so for the Starship to get through reentry heating. And for the booster to simulate a virtual "catch" above the gulf then sink.

I'll be watching on https://www.twitch.tv/ej_sa

But there is the official site:
https://www.spacex.com/launches/miss...rship-flight-4

NSF: (I think link is correct)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTkhv4fvOgA

As SpaceX says: Excitement Guaranteed!!!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG

The Starship kind of got through reentry and did it's flip, landing burn and slow splash down in the ocean.

That front flap was falling apart during reentry!

But both Booster and Starship landed! Exactly as planned.

Before launch, I would have put both Booster and Starship soft landing in the ocean at about 1%.

I'm in shock and amazed.

Granted, SpaceX has some tile issues to figure out.

Starliner has developed several Helium leaks... could be trouble, but the engineers have 'polled' go for docking.

Skyshowtv is my new FAVORITE channel...

they are the company that is reasonable for much of the engineering footage seen over the decades. they finally launched a channel of their own for non critical or secret footage.

watch that entire video all the way to the end for an amazing results... Hotstage and self destruct, in 4k if you can.

the reason the footage looks sideways is because they are using as much of the CCD and Film as possible in 21:9.

Bonus... Virgin Galactic.
