Looks like the reverse angle after eating airport calamari.

SpaceX's Starship launch, second attempt, may happen Friday, Nov 17th.   The two-hour launch window opens at 7am central time.

The Starship stack, vehicle plus booster, is 397 ft tall.  It's 90 ft taller than the tower.

Fucking A - I love to watch the live feed as they light the candle; and burn the whole town down

Launch window moved to Saturday, Nov 18th. 20 minute window starting at 7am according to spacex.com.

A live webcast starts 35 mins before launch on their website.

Pretty cool that it managed to deliver Starship to a nominal trajectory. Every other rocket would be expended at that point, so a failure to return home during a second test isn't surprising. I'm interested why starship failed after what appeared to be an uneventful burn. Damage during launch? 

Cause that’s who the aliens gave that tech to, duh! 😂

 

 

And “rapid unscheduled disassembly” is fucking awesome. 🤣

3rd starship test last week. 

 

“But even with those caveats, Starship is already the most revolutionary rocket ever built. Because of a relentless focus on costs and cheap building materials, such as stainless steel, SpaceX can likely build and launch a fully expendable version of Starship for about $100 million. Most of that money is in the booster, with its 33 engines. So once Super Heavy becomes reusable, you can probably cut manufacturing costs down to about $30 million per launch.

This means that, within a year or so, SpaceX will have a rocket that costs about $30 million and lifts 100 to 150 metric tons to low-Earth orbit.

Bluntly, this is absurd.”
