Separate names with a comma.
Starship, not content with just a belly flop and landing flip, gave us a bonus back flip!
Not sure if it was just down to landing leg failure, or if it came down too fast. Seemed to be a bit of a bounce on landing, so maybe the latter.
Aborted at T minus 0.1 seconds. Raptor thrust out of spec, it seems. They are looking at data to see if they can recycle and try again before...
I would say the screen inset is too small within the video frame, and there is too much sky at the top of the view. The wide angle was nice, but I...
This is a big problem in the production EAP/NOA code also. It does not seamlessly handle objects going from one camera view to the next (for...
I had exactly the same thoughts. They should show altitude, speed, g-force and some of the major milestones like separation and chute deploy.
Maybe if they load some more cash into the tank, the engines can run longer.

TFRs for Friday, Saturday and Sunday 9AM - 7PM EST. Edit: Oddly, no matching road closures (yet?).
There are TFRs for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so I assume flight may occur the day after a successful static fire, subject to weather issues.
According to resident/photographer Mary (@BocaChicaGal on Twitter), that notice was for a static fire (which has now been postponed due to high...
You can also partially press in on one of the door handles to wake it. Takes a bit of practice to get the right amount of press without opening...
Definitely seems odd. Just a guess, but maybe they installed the rack for the MY instead of M3. (Not sure if they are different.)
Well, this will certainly be exciting! (More tweets follow...) Elon Musk @elonmusk Replying to @flcnhvy and @ErcXspace Saves mass & cost of legs...
Yeah, I encountered that bug a couple weeks ago. Very annoying.
A TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) was issued today for Fri 12/4 - Sun 12/6, so no flight today. There was some speculation of a static fire or...

Looks to be a static fire of the three raptors installed on the SN8 Starship prototype.
It seems to be taking a long time for them to get him out to Marine-1. Maybe it means nothing, but I'm half-expecting him to come out on a...
Then again, he surrounds himself with yes-men like Scott Atlas and his previous doctors who claimed him to be the healthiest President ever. Maybe...
I wonder if they will try to "prone" him. It seemed like that was a low-tech treatment that was reasonably effective at lessening the severity of...
If we hear they have him on dexamethasone or Remdesivir, wouldn't that indicate that his case is substantially worse than "mild"? Not that he...
I'm no doctor either! My fear is that he's not all that healthy. He is clearly obese. He is being treated for high cholesterol and (maybe?) high...
Trump is on his way to Walter Reed to be kept there for a few days, "out of an abundance of caution." They say his symptoms are still mild. [ETA:...
OK, fair enough. Those stats only ran through the end of May, which was a while ago. However, Trump is a symptomatic case now. Do you have any...

Yeah, that was disappointing. Apparently they have a second season planned. Maybe it will improve.
