Everyday astronaut did an interview with the founder earlier this year. I had no idea they were so close to getting something flying (even if only 30m off the ground). Fantastic achievement!

Surely they'll fix them up? Or maybe they're not that confident it will get to reentry anyway. Or even if it does they want to see how damaged tiles behave. Idk, just spitballing here

Yeah this is what I've been running for the last few years. Incredibly stable and does everything that you want for a small network. Even has poe passthrough if your AP supports that

 

Relented and checked in on /r/SpaceX, incredible photos here

I wonder if they'll ever push a booster to failure, and the number of flights that will be!

These sorts of videos are great for getting the hype going for the next flight test! I think it will be incredible to see this live (assuming it gets to this point)

Oh cool, are there any pictures of it? I hadn't heard of it but then I've been a bit out of the loop the last couple of weeks

Interesting, most of the Soviet rockets that uses hot staging had a truss between each stage to allow the exhaust to vent. As far as I know starship doesn't have anything like this yet, I wonder if they'll add some or if they're just gonna see what happens without it ๐Ÿ˜‚
