The booster gets caught. Is Starship going to do an orbit again?
Straship's not doing a full orbit... it's going to splashdown in the Indian Ocean
but I'm sure we're going to get some good views of reentry like we have the previous flight

Is this a Texas launch?

How big of an explosion will this be if it fails to be caught?

I thought I'd read if there were any hiccups they would splash it right off the beach near the landing/launch tower.

The super heavy has over twice the thrust of a Saturn V.
That is unfathomable

I can't believe this isn't bigger national news. This is some serious pioneering engineering. The Elon hate by the Media is real. This launch almost didn't happen for another 45 days due to beauracratic bullshite.

And was a random, out of nowhere idea from Musk... They made it happen.

Musk has some big balls just to take that project on. Insane.

Elon in control with X on his lap

Reading all that license shite, Elon should just buy Mexico and move his facilities 30 or 40 miles south.
