This is ridiculous. People talk a lot of crap about Colapinto, but his reaction time probably saved Liam’s life here.

Honestly this is a HUGE surprise....Booster 12 has been lowered back onto the launch mount! You can tell a lot more finesse is required to get it into the correct position when the stabilizer pins on the OLM aren't present. 🎥:Avid Space ✂️:Geoff A

I've had to fix a lot of things in this episode...luckily this is one of the easier parts to make changes to smh. I had to stop myself from laughing during the livestream yesterday because people wouldn't understand what was so funny.

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure we are seeing the ring of 10 engines gimbal outward about halfway through this video

Shoutout to the Stage Zero GSE team for enabling Starship to load propellant this quickly. 33 minutes for such a massive vehicle is WILD! Thankfully the wind is cooperating today and blowing in the opposite direction from what it has been lately.

Wow, this might be the first full speed retraction test of the hold down clamps, booster QD's and the ship QD arm in the top right corner. The initial speed of that QD arm is impressive. May have to do some comparisons with Pad 1 system later. 🎥: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

And with that, SpaceX has officially broken ground on the Flame Trench for Pad A! If they follow a similar pace as Pab B construction, the launch mount sections should begin arriving in 5 to 6 months (although I suspect it will be much sooner) and another 5 months before its finally installed. 🎥: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

After nine long months of testing, the B18.1 Booster test article is finally being removed from the Super Crusher. Over the course of that campaign, it completed 16 cryogenic pressure tests — making it the most extensive structural qualification program we’ve seen to date, by a significant margin (followed closely by B18.3 and S39.1) To me, that level of rigor reflects more than just the technological leap between V2 and V3. It also signals a broader shift in testing philosophy in the Starship program. The changes made to Super Heavy introduce significant risk throughout every stage of pre-flight testing. Its almost equivalent to the extreme uncertainty during the Booster 7 testing campaign. With that in mind, it’s reassuring to see that those risks are being addressed with this level of discipline. 🎥: Avid Space

B9 vs B10 33 Engine Static Fire Throttle appears to be the same for both tests. It’s great to see increased duration. Says a lot about confidence in the vehicle & bidet system ✂️:Geoff A

Close call for the drone cam! I wonder if this was precisely planned to be just outside of the possible range of the TVC corrections, or if they just got lucky?

The first ever abort after ignition! Sad to see the launch scrubbed but....I've actually been waiting to see this type of abort for a while. Hopefully they get everything figured out and can try again tomorrow!

🤯My goodness! I've always wanted to see Superheavy jump off the pad like that! Although I don't think this was as fast as they originally planned. But, now that the pad isn't holding the vehicle back anymore we can see the true monster thats been hiding this entire time.

Booster 20 appears to have failed to light some of its engines during the landing burn 😔 It will be interesting to hear whether or not the unhealthy engines were detected after boost back and if it would have been cleared to return to the launch site. I don't think we have seen how a situation like this would be handled.

Yikes. Looks like the 33 engine boost back did not go as planned. Lost a ton of engines

Not sure what to make of this, but there appears to have been a fire in the area where SpaceX has been testing propellant gasification systems. These are suspected to be part of the orbital propellant transfer R&D program Tough to say from this angle, but this seems like it might be coming from one of the exhaust vents, instead of one of the three test stands. If thats the case, its probably not an issue. Just the first time we are seeing this particular test. 🎥: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

When watching this in real time I was really hoping Ship 28 would magically cancel out its tumbling and wind up in the perfect orientation for re-entry. That would have been extremely impressive. I hope SpaceX will eventually say whether or not this portion of the Orbital Ballet Show was intentional. It would be amazing to see the complete uninterrupted 45 minute video from this camera angle

👀 My goodness that was incredible!! Booster 19 performed a ~14 second static fire test. That looked much better and the deluge system seems to have lasted for the full duration. Great progress!

New Fire Suppression System Dramatically Increases Superheavy's Performance! While the 2nd Integrated Test Flight of Starship ultimately ended in the loss of both vehicles, it was undoubtably a massive improvement from SpaceX's first attempt. This episode is a deep dive analysis of critical upgrades to Starship Superheavy. Disclaimer: There is a very large focus placed on Booster 7 in this episode. There were a lot of lessons learned from IFT-1 and its important to understand why each of the changes to Booster 9 were necessary. Hopefully this will help make sense out of a lot of the items listed in the 63 Corrective Actions from the FAA shared by Elon Musk a few months ago. If you enjoy this then please share it!

Ship 40 has performed its first Static Fire test in preparation for the lucky Flight 13. This appears to have been a single engine test, but came after a hold of nearly 20 minutes. Assuming they were intentionally allowing the propellant to warm up. This may have been the first realistic simulation of an in-space relight burn that SpaceX has ever conducted during ground testing. 🎥: Avid Space
