The SS United States went down on Nov. 11 off Okaloosa County, Florida, with no explosives. Crews opened valves to flood her hull and filled 128 of her fuel and oil tanks with seawater, and holes cut through her decks let the air out. She sat lower for hours. Once the sea reached her doors, she leaned onto one side and went under fast. NPR reports she now rests upright about 180 feet down, the world's largest artificial reef. Why upright? Once she's fully flooded, the water inside weighs nothing extra, because it's the same sea as outside. What rights her is her own build: a heavy steel hull low and a light aluminum superstructure high. The roll back to level on the way down is our illustration of that physics, not footage, and the side she leans to is drawn, not reported. A simplified Blender animation. SS United States, artificial reef, ocean liner, ship sinking, Florida. This was all made with Claude Code and my workflow.

SpaceX has caught its Super Heavy booster in the tower's arms before, on Flights 5, 7 and 8. It has never caught the ship on top. Starship Flight 15, targeted for no earlier than Friday 13 November from Starbase, Texas, and still waiting on an FAA licence change, plans to try both. Why the ship is harder: the booster's trip lasts under seven minutes and never reaches orbit. The ship is planned to spend about 22 hours in space, about 21 of them coasting in orbit until its path lines up with Starbase. Then one engine fires to bring it down, it falls back belly first on its heat tiles, and it flies home over northern Mexico and southern Texas. If any check fails, it goes to the ocean instead. Near the tower it flips upright on three engines, drops to one, and the arms close on two catch fittings just below its forward flaps. It has no landing legs, so the tower is its landing gear. This describes SpaceX's published plan, not a result. A simplified Blender animation, not footage. Models, map and timing are illustrative. Rocket reuse, tower catch, reentry, heat shield, Starship Flight 15. This was all made with Claude Code and my workflow.
