They need to learn how to navigate this vehicle before sending it anywhere. Will they nail the landing? Starship 15 live flight test update....
Cars have fled the pad again...Cars are returning and the area is no longer clear. They may have scrubbed.
My observation was that for everything they did get to work, they need to spend a little time on their video feeds. One wonders.Linked below is a good summary video of this historic event and is only a few minutes long. Things I have noted from this video...
1. They only landed a foot from the edge of the space pad.
2. The post-landing fire
This landing could have easily caused the spacecraft to have went up in flames!
Interesting approach to engineering but what a cult of personality.Video discussing SpaceX’s Starship 15 challenges. Launch Notes....
1. Methane leak
2. Heat shields were damaged
3. They barely missed the return pad.
4. The landing legs were damaged
Yes... The SN15 landing was successful, but they are a long way from carrying humans into space!
There was some speculation whether they were trialling video routing via the Starlink network, as a Starlink antenna was spotted.My observation was that for everything they did get to work, they need to spend a little time on their video feeds. One wonders.
They will have heat-resistant tiles.I wonder how they can protect the flaps during reentree?
