It's honestly pretty incredible how fast SpaceX’s safety systems worked during yesterday’s Starship flight attempt. All those Raptor engines shutting down in the blink of an eye. This is what testing is for. 🦾

🇺🇸 SPACEX FIRES UP SUPER HEAVY FOR STARSHIP FLIGHT 9 SpaceX just completed a static fire test of its Super Heavy booster ahead of Starship’s 9th flight. This isn’t its first rodeo—this booster flew on Flight 7 and returned safely. 29 of its 33 Raptor engines are already flight-proven, making this one of the most battle-tested rockets yet. All systems go for the next big push to orbit. Source: SpaceX

BREAKING: SpaceX is preparing to launch Starship Flight 12 as soon as Tuesday, May 19 at 5:30 p.m. CT This mission will debut the next-generation Starship and Super Heavy vehicles for the very first time, powered by upgraded Raptor engines and launching from a newly designed pad at Starbase Flight 12 will test major redesigns across the entire Starship system aimed at enabling full and rapid reusability. The mission also includes deployment of 22 Starlink simulators, an in-space Raptor relight, advanced heat shield analysis tests, and multiple experimental reentry maneuvers

NEWS: SpaceX has released a statement after today's successful 11th Starship test flight. "Every major objective of the flight test was achieved, providing valuable data as we prepare the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy. The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster completed its boostback burn to put it on a course to a pre-planned splashdown zone off the coast of Texas using 12 of the 13 planned engines. Under the same angle of attack tested on the previous flight, the booster descended until successfully igniting all 13 planned engines (including one that did not relight during the boostback burn) for the high-thrust portion of the landing burn. The booster successfully executed a unique landing burn planned for use on the next generation booster. Super Heavy hovered above the water before shutting down its engines and splashing down. After completing a full-duration ascent burn, Starship achieved its planned velocity and trajectory. During flight, Starship successfully deployed eight Starlink simulators and executed the third in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a critical capability for future deorbit burns. Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather extensive data on the performance of its heatshield as it was intentionally stressed to test the limits of the vehicle’s capabilities. In the final minutes of flight, Starship performed a dynamic banking maneuver to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, successfully executing a landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown. Focus now turns to the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy, with multiple vehicles currently in active build and preparing for tests. This next iteration will be used for the first Starship orbital flights, operational payload missions, propellant transfer, and more as we iterate to a fully and rapidly reusable vehicle with service to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond."

He meets them after the mission. Looks them in the eye. Shakes every hand. For the commander of an Unmanned Systems battalion, it’s more than tradition. It’s responsibility, respect, and personal accountability for every life. This is how trust is built. This is how units stay strong. 📹: 122nd TDF Brigade

A baby was searched at an airport when the family was checking in for their flight. This caught national attention, and began a discussion on the rigorous preflight check-in, and safety checks. Are you fine with your infant being patted down before a flight, or should the scanner be all that is used?

Exoplanet... This is not a movie scene — this is real life right now in parts of Japan. A powerful snowstorm is burying towns under massive snowfall, shutting down roads, and creating dangerous whiteout conditions. Cars are stranded, visibility is near zero, and the weight of the snow is becoming a serious risk. If you’re in affected areas, please stay indoors and stay safe. Conditions can change quickly during storms like this, and safety always comes first. By Glynce

Best B14.1 slap from the chopsticks so far: (For those just catching up, SpaceX is using this test tank to work on their allowances with the sticks ahead of Flight 5's potential catch. So slapping B14.1 is fine for gathering data. It's much better than slapping an actual flight booster. This way, they'll work out the fastest they can grab, but without damaging the booster in the process.
