Wow. Huge successes made today. Curious if the booster self terminated by its system or what happened there. Either way, great stuff so far this morning

Looks like they terminated starship. Still a great success.
Maybe too soon- guess everyone is learning.

This is incredible. I always get like a little kid watching these tests run. Even with the two blowups, exceeded everything they were looking for as main objectives today. Pretty freaking incredible.

Did they say soon?

I think they were hoping to have something in Jan/Feb, but it will all depend on the government. Fish and Wildlife might be worried about a fish having PTSD.

They referred to it as a RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly) a few times. I think this was SpaceX talk for blew the frick up

Amazing flight... the ground support adjustments seem to have made a significant difference
All 33 Raptors lit on the booster and made it to staging... didn't lose any during launch
Hot staging seemed to work like hoped
And the new FTS systems seemed to actually terminate the flights when needed
Still work to do for SpaceX... but today was an amazing success... likely got much further in the flight profile than anyone could've hoped

Looks like one of the tanks on the pad may be dented in/damaged?
