Is this being streamed on anything that doesn’t require a TV licence?

No go for catch :frowning: Going to do the backup soft land in the ocean.

Well, they absolutely nailed the ship landing!

Was impressed! I was expecting it to RUD due to the stress they put on it.

Got to respect that engineering.

Got it on my phone at work!

More excited about tonight though!

Anndddd . . . Scrub.
Now to wait and see when their next launch window will be.

Not been a good day. Two scrubbed launches.

The new launch window opens in circa 5 hours at 9pm for 60 mins. Pretty sure I’ll be driving back from the Sqn when it launches :frowning:

Clearly got the above completely wrong. Launch is in about 30 mins. Got my times zones mixed up!

Mad if that’s real! I stopped watching after the catch to be honest, as I was adjust impressed enough :grin:

The effects the debris had on the Airspace, south of Florida & the Caribbean is interesting.

SpaceX STARSHIP EXPLOSION Debris Falling | Caribbean Airspace Closed!

This show some of the aircraft that had to hold and/or divert.

AFAIK it was a predesignated hazard zone for the launch, but they didn’t expect to need to completely shut the airspace!

Also, apparently this debris did make it to ground level intact. Mostly in the ocean, but some reports of damage on the islands. Going to need a pretty thorough investigation.
