Space X Starship Test Flight

[robin h 25]

I've been waiting so long to see this fly, even though it's in it's testing stages,

And to one day to see or hear about it landing on the Moon and Mars in my lifetime,

All tests were successful until the end.

At least Starship SN9 is already fully built and ready for it's test flight soon, they just now need to clear up the mess of SN8 and then get SN9 out to the launch pad.


Will we see SpaceX Starship land on Mars before Star Citizen gets a full release?.

A nice cool shot of Starship SN 9 on it's launch pad and Starship SN 10 on it's way to it's launch pad,

SN 9 was due to do a high altitude test flight this week, but now looking to fly after this weekend.

The look like grain silos with some fins badly welded on.......

I'll take it as flying grain silo's over these so called FlatEarthers who think that these are nothing but CGI models and that they don't really exist.

SN 9 flight just happened

"We need to do some work on the landing" ...............................Um, that would be a yes

The whole SpaceX project is quite incredible though, the way it's taken space exploration forward in really what is a very short space of time is quite frankly phenomenal!

I must admit watching that took me back to watching the Apollo launches when i was a kid

Starship SN 10 is due to fly within the next 1 to 9 hours if everything goes well, if not, it's got tomorrow and Friday for it's test flight or it will be after the weekend,

Hopefully this one will land and not pancake on the landing pad, though Space X has given it a 60% chance of it landing, even if it fails again on landing, it's still a successful test with all the data they collect with every flight,

Starship SN 11 is about ready to soon roll out to the launch pad,

Side Note:
Here is a 360° video/photo of Mars from the latest Mars rover "Perseverance"

As soon as it gets it RTX 3080 delivered
(couldn't resist)

Starship SN 10 aborted it's test flight at T- 00:00.01 before lift off, there resetting and trying again in 2 hours, they still have a 3 hour window left to attempt it's test flight for today.

That was cutting it close

Starship SN 10 took flight and nailed the Landing🥳🥳🥳🥳, 3rd times lucky, video soon.

Edit: SN 10 just exploded on the landing pad after it landed 😢😭.

Maybe they should ask international rescue for some advise

Good excuse for a great track by the Rezillos.

SN 11 is going for it's test flight today, it's got a 8 and half hour window to perform it's test flight if everything goes ok.

Edit: SN 11 test flight has been scrubbed for today, should now fly after the weekend.

The first Starship Super Heavy Booster ( BN 1 ) had been stacked and when the day comes to mate Starship with Super Heavy Booster, it'll be much bigger than the Saturn V Apollo rocket's.

A very foggy launch of SN 11 that just happened.

It seems that SN 11 exploded after it ignited its engines for it's landing burn.


Next up is SN 15, which will roll out to the launch pad very soon.

Starship SN15 test flight...

There best landing yet... hope it doesn't explode🤞

EDIT:
over 3 hours after landing and it's still standing, compared to SN10 landing, where it went boom after only 8 minutes after landing,

Space X are now trying to get a crane out to SN15 to secure it, as safe as possible as there's a slim risk of it being blown over if it's stood for too long in high winds as it's not secured to any platforms and is only standing upright on it's landing legs,

SN15 test flight is a complete success and one for the history books, getting humans to Mars is a step closer,

Next up will soon be SN16

So proud of the landing, SpaceX really did it! Bravo!! 👏

nice to see it land and stay in one piece
