It's **** all compared to UK Space Command.
The "spkunk works" is working on a project featuring a repurposed Sinclair C5.
2022 son you better believe..........
Fuel header tank pressure was low, that'd do it when you're needing fuel for your brakes
I wouldn't have known about it, if it hadn't been for this thread; STW delivers again!
It is properly impressive stuff......however.......the landings I've seen always look a little fishy, like cameras turning off at JUST the right second, in this case, the camera position seemed to switch exactly at the moment it exploded, so it just looked badly edited, then the comment about "Great work everybody". I'm not one for conspiracy theories at all, it just looked a little odd, that's all.

I think you're talking about the landings on the drone ships. That's because just as the boosters land they make the drone ship move which breaks the microwave link between the drone ship cameras and the other manned vessel nearby. They've since improved the robustness of this link so that the video link is no longer broken and you can see the actual landing. All the touch downs they have made on land you can see the actual moment of landing.
Probably more to do with editing out something they don't want people seeing. Bear in mind there could be a lot of proprietary stuff in testing. Either that it's a glitch from a rocket blowing up right next to it.
Someone needs to play some more Thrust.
Just watched. Indeed great telly. Skip to 25mins for the action.

You could go to Florida and watch it if in doubt (not sure of this one was Florida admittedly, probs want to check that in advance)
It was in Nevada
Musk is one of our greatest living humans
no, he’s a terrible ****

God, don't suggest that to Musk, if he decides a project's too hard he'll just blow up a power plant then fly off into space.
Delta 4 launch was pretty impressive 🚀
Revisiting this as SN9 is up for test launch for today although suggestions already that now postponed to Friday?
Yeah, sounds like still waiting for approval from FAA
Looks like tonight.
I'm looking forward to this launch.
Live stream from SpaceX, so should be on
NASA spaceflight.com stream for me, then I'll look at the other feeds later.
Hasn't blown up yet!
Nearly!
Bang
Boom
Oof ! Fire the boosters earlier.....
Awesome stuff. Brilliant flight, massive explosion. Perfect
Amazed they landed so close to the second rocket, that send a risk not worth taking.
Incredible camera shot in the last few seconds of flight
Also love the Spacex commentator. “Successful flight, need to work on the landing a little bit!”

Spacex showmanship innit.
So what happened there, only one booster relit? Seemed to go pretty well otherwise

It was to warn SN10 what would happen if it misbehaved.
Oi, rocket. See what happened to your mate there? Yeah, well no ****ing around when you come into land, OK?!
Oh well, they'll get there... Send up sn10 😬
2nd raptor engine failed to relight correctly if i heard right
Ah I got caught off guard after all the cancelled launches last week I forgot about this!
That was a great watch! Big boom at the end!
Yep looks like the second engine didn’t fire up fully, you can see the 2nd engine burping a few times trying to light up properly and the single engine didn’t have the power to fully straighten up and land.
I’m guessing SN10 must be pretty much ready to go if it’s sitting so close to the launch pad. I wonder how quickly they will try to launch that?
Exciting times, makes me feel like a kid again and takes me back to when the shuttle was launching. Appeared like interest in space was higher then and we’ve had a 15/20 year lull. Great to see so many space programs happening at the same time!
SpaceX commentator said SN10 would launch 'this month'. But that was before SN9 'landed'.
I wonder how quickly they will try to launch that?
Depends on how many holes the shrapnel from SN9 punched in it
Looks pretty reliable...where do I buy a ticket?😂
Aw, missed it again! That landing pads eye view though!
"SpaceX starship" aka, Titanic.
At least there's no stowage passengers to drown this time.
Wouldn't like to be amongst the first passengers, even if I could afford a trip. Everything about space is danger danger danger.
Maybe another attempt tonight.
I hate this guy's presentation but I do like his enthusiasm. So excited just watching nothing happen
Looking good, SpaceX feed is on.
BOOOOOOOOO. Failure without explosions is the worst failure
Aborted at 0 seconds!
Boring
Damn it
Looks like it's back on. 1hr 40mins to second launch attempt.
I'll be watching
Ooh good show. Any bets?
Got to love their attitude really. Thrust is outside limits, well just up the limits then
Yee and ha. That's how it's done
