So do I have to redo this video now
10 years ago, @SpaceX proved everyone wrong. They landed an orbital-class booster at Landing Zone-1. Today, we land there one final time. Goodbye, LZ-1.

As things stand, Ship 41 will be flying over Ship 40 just after Ship Engine Cut-Off. Full circle for those two re-flying tiles.
FORTE still whipping along at over 14 knots with Ship 40 on board. Can't wait till SpaceX gets her back home. Should be there in under 20 days now!

The launches have gone quiet, but the airspace remains busy - the first A in NASA is Aeronautics, after all... @NASAAdmin's Northrop F-5 jets were in the air today - also joined by a @NASA Airbus H135 which was inspecting the vicinity of LC-39A. 📽️ Space Coast Live/@NASASpaceflight

This brings Dragon missions up to Crew-17, which will be the last mission before ISS deorbit… if the current Starliner schedule holds.
NASA has awarded SpaceX three additional missions through a contract modification. "As part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract, this change brings the total missions for SpaceX to 17 and helps NASA to maintain access to the space station with two unique commercial crew industry partners." nasa.gov/missions/station/co…

Given the indications that @SpaceX will retire Dragon around 2030... When do you think Starship will be crew-rated for trans-atmospheric flights? (meaning, from the ground to space and back, not counting the Human Landing System which only carries crew in a vacuum)
27% 2030 (immediately after)
43% 2030 - 2034
23% 2035 - 2040

Wow, this "Space Shuttle" truely looks like the future. I'm sure in 50 years from now we'll have winged spaceplanes zipping to and from Space multiple times per day!
The first U.S. “Space Shuttle,” called “Enterprise” after the television series Star Trek, is rolled out of a hangar at Palmdale, California for its first display. NASA was originally going to call the craft “Constitution,” but President Ford personally insisted that it be called “Enterprise.”

The retirement of Falcon 9 customer missions is an opportunity that Europe cannot pass on. We cocked up (massively) a decade ago. If Europe fumbles the bag again… well, we’re screwed. And it would be self-inflicted.
Europe's response to Falcon 9 exiting the market should not be to shovel contracts to the dead-end, solid rocket technology Avio is flying. Rather it needs to invest heavily in rapid reuse, because what's coming down the line is even more of a steamroller than Falcon 9.

Is Starship Flight 14 a Test Flight? Ship 41 is attempting orbit for the very first time. But, it's deploying real Starlinks, it's a revenue flight. However, Booster 21 still needs to test Super Heavy splashdown - the previous two flights have been return failures.

Starship Flight 14 fun facts: - 275km orbit, nominal mission is ~6 orbits of Earth - 26 @Starlink v3 satellites to be deployed, 3 of the 26 have cameras for imaging Ship 41's heatshield - First Heatshield Tile Re-use (!!!) More details: - Initially inserting into sub-orbital trajectory, Ship 41 will only perform a second burn for orbit-insertion if everything looks good - There will be multiple checks during flight, if something doesn't look good, Ship 41 will do an early de-orbit burn and return to the Indian or Pacific Ocean. - Nominal mission splashdown in the Pacific Ocean area near Chile - Multiple heatshield improvements will be tested, some derived from data gathered from Ship 40's side quest to Christmas Island - Two of Ship 40's tiles will be flown on Ship 41, demonstrating Tile Re-use (!!!) - Super Heavy Booster will again try a soft, on-target splashdown in the Gulf, as expected - On Flight 13 (previous mission), Super Heavy boostback ended prematurely due to ice clogging on the three center Raptor 3 engines - Booster 21 has hardware changes to improve filtering ahead of Flight 14
Starship is preparing to go to orbit. Flight 14 is targeting to launch as early as Tuesday, September 22, pending regulatory approval → spacex.com/launches/starship…

In the month of September (so far), there have been double the number of launches from European territory (2) as there have been from Florida's Space Coast (1) Data-proven European Space Dominance 😉
