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

Due to try again at about 23:15 uk time

I like watching the engines gimballing about (or is it kerfing?) Very satisfying

Yes..

Agreed, it’s very bloody clever.

Nailed it! Didn’t look exactly textbook but still pretty bloody impressive

Brilliant 🥳🥳🥳🥳

…bit of a lean 😬

Just awesome really

Legs collapsed apparently

Oh……

Damn, she blew ☹️

… methane leak ignited. Still, she landed…. success in my book

It went up again!

Always give the audience what they want…

“Starship to the moon” 🙂 WSB will be getting excited

From the NasaSpaceFlight stream: “Starship SN10 landed on the landing zone; then burned off the excess propellant in a rapid fashion.”

Fastest launch turn around ever

Eventually got the space-x steam working and I thought I could see a little bounce at touchdown, so perhaps a little bit to fast. No springy legs like on Falcon.

The turn to vertical looked well suss on the feeds.  Who filmed that?

Still, she landed…. success in my book

Uh huh…This is success in the same way that a postie driving the van through the front of your house to deliver a letter, is success…

These image slices from the @LabPadre camera showing the landing are at 6fps and there's almost no change in speed. I think the descent rate is about 15 miles per hour, which is not as slow as the previous successful landings. pic.twitter.com/HatM4wpzsr

Almost as good as the NASA comment “ As if the flight test was not exciting enough, SN10 experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly shortly after landing”

“RUD” has been in the spacex vocabulary for a number of years!!

So what’s the advantage of flipping back to vertical so close to the ground before landing?
Why not give yourself more wriggle room and do it 500 higher giving time to get all your ducks lined up?

I watched the landing this morning and thought “what are they going to do now, it doesn’t look safe to go near it”.

So what’s the advantage of flipping back to vertical so close to the ground before landing?

Maybe they just haven’t sorted the flip fully yet? Or still needing to be horizontal for the extra drag? Difficult to know how fast it’s actually going when the camera stays on it and there’s no background.

As a friend described it- ‘SN10 was so happy to have landed it backflipped to celebrate’

I don’t think you can throttle the engines enough to slowly descend to the ground. You have to leave it to the last second otherwise you’d start to go up again. Requires perfect timing.

Well I’m not saying you’re wrong – but they hover on one engine at 10km.
(and it seems that the Raptor engine can be throttled down to about 40% thrust)
