Starship SN11 - High Altitude Flight Test

I have not really had much time to follow things closely. As I expected, there was no launch today, even though ‘somewhat’ planned. There has been a Static Fire Test earlier today though, which appeared to look ok. According to Elon Musk, another window for launch will open coming Monday, March 29th.

Launch of SN11 was scrubbed earlier today, because there was no FAA approval yet

Starship SN11 - High Altitude Flight Test

I missed the launch of SN11, but for those who wish to watch again, check out the video below:

Not much is visible, especially at landing, but I guess this reply by Elon Musk is pretty clear:

A different view at landing here, although still hard to make out anything due to the weather conditions. Some loud noises, some debris flying around (timestamp just prior to liftoff):

A friend suggested that SpaceX should rename itself to ACME. I could definitely see that work…

Yes. Of course you are correct but, I am the type who has to see it coming. :smile: I mean, I don’t want to miss it.

My parents both survived the WW2 bombing of Liverpool. They used to say “You never hear the one that hits you”.

I wonder if you see the spaceship that turns you into a crater?

You won’t be around to tell anyone if you did see it . Time to invest in a Polaroid camera. Just leave the last, greatest photo near your body so someone else can know.

Interesting thoughts. The last time I played The Sims 3, I sent my sim outside to lay on the ground and watch the clouds. She suddenly made a ‘what?’ sound and was then struck and killed by a falling satellite…I hope this is not an omen. :ghost:
