Spoiler!
Flight 5 as soon as early to mid July?!
It will be bonkers down here for the inaugural Mechazilla catch of a Starship Booster stage. Fingers crossed for Flight 5/Booster 12.

![]() Hadn't heard this until today: Next would come a ship engine cutoff and a nominal Suborbital insertion, Meaning Ship 29 hit the correct trajectory. Shortly after, Booster 11 would start up the inner 13 engines for an initial landing burn before switching to the inner three. However, just after ignition, Engine 8 in the inner ring of 10 exploded, but the booster kept on going. On one of the feeds, I saw a bunch of crap flying up from SH. Guess it was engine bits. |

Maybe it ends up being more than that, but they've been pretty firm that it's not. |

FH launch today!!!
SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, June 25 for launch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) GOES-U mission to a geostationary orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The two-hour launch window opens at 5:16 p.m. ET. If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Wednesday, June 26 at the same time. A live webcast of this mission will begin on NASA’s website about one hour prior to liftoff. The GOES-U satellite will orbit above the Earth's equator at approximately 35,700 km (22,236 mi) observing weather patterns in the contiguous USA, Central and South America, and Atlantic Ocean. GOES-U is part of NOAA's most sophisticated Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) series and will assist weather forecasters and climate researchers with real-time high-resolution imagery, earlier detection of severe weather that could save lives, and tropical cyclone forecasts. The weather satellite also carries a suite of space weather instruments that will be used to detect solar storms early and help predict their possible impacts. Following booster separation, the two new side boosters supporting this mission will land on SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. |
