I cannot understate the scale of this thing. It's comically huge

Not a single person on comms dares to speak up for over an entire minute because Trump is still on the line 😭

Just an FYI, because I'm seeing a lot of people discussing wanting the double sided patch. The only people who actually make them are AB Emblem (other providers are just reselling). With them all out of stock it's not known if they're making another production run, that was said to be decided by which one sold better. Any of the ones you see currently available are the front-sided only ones and/or backorder for this that may not actually exist I got mine way back in October.

I don't like the way that the first of the last three engines cuts off. It's a few seconds earlier than its sisters and its own shutdown timing is atypical. The other two certainly made full duration. The shutdown of that engine also appears visually faint compared to how it typically looks on the other engines. I've mirrored the engine graphic and rotated these two camera views so they all match as if you were looking from the same angle, just makes visualizing the plume directions a bit easier.

The ice forming here during the landing burn is also interesting to me. This structure is effectively like a raceway running around the base of the booster, for context. Links up each of the 40 junction boxes on the exterior that route commodities to and from each engine and such. There shouldn't be anything venting in the cavity there. We've never seen condensation, especially to the point of ice, form on these surfaces. Yes, it's affected by exterior moisture as you can see it fluctuate as it passes through a cloud here, but the difference is negligible and it only really starts forming as soon as the landing burn begins. If something broke in there...not saying it did but it's an interesting prospect

307 hours since landing, 735 kilometers traveled. Here are the tracks of the vessels, including the capture of Starship, since landing. Skimmer Tide made way to shore a day ago. Ranger, with the floating Starship, is alone in the Indian ocean right now, ~1300km from Australia. They have still not begun their return journey.

Created a visualization of various orbital planes for Starship and subsequent RTLS opportunities, ideally trying to help people who keep misunderstanding how the ground track moves and thus showing the limited number of return windows for all three launch sites.

Synchronized with the broadcast; the cameras are taking a photograph every half second.

I do wonder if Australis in yellow here is serving some form of surveyor role
