No, I didn’t mean the sound, I mean there was a moment where some panels seemed to blow off or something toward the bottom.

People can't parallel park and they can't put this between 2 "chopsticks" with only a few feet on either side to spare. Incredible.


To put this into perspective, Space X just caught a skyscraper in mid air.

I still cannot believe what I just saw.

I wonder what the true dollar value is that is being saved by catching it at the launch pad vs the cost of landing it somewhere else, recovering it and moving it back.

What is going to happen with the capsule orbiting? How long is it staying in orbit and are they landing it today?

Need to do yard work.

Yes... it should be reentering soon & trying the flip & burn into the Indian Ocean

ETA: it stays sub-orbital

SpaceX was going back live around 815 central, so would assume around then.

Is the Starship part going to be recovered or will they drop it in the drink?

It's going to Davey Jones' locker

Approximately 23 minutes to reentry

It’s amazing to think about. In the near future, they could possibly load it up with another payload and launch it again the next week, or maybe even the next day.

Looking up what Kamala's biggest supporter caught would probably lead to several links to various STD's.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Space X asks them for the raw footage to help analyze the flight.
