When I said burn through an aft nozzle I meant the normal function of a rocket engine as the propellant burns as it goes through the normal orifice passage of the nozzle, not burning abnormally through the side and explode like what happened on the recent Vulcan SRB which Blue Origin does NOT make.

By then only the Chinese space station will be in orbit if things continue to go as they have been, without any dramatic changes.
The Chinese, given the cluster f that NASA has become and the enmity toward SpaceX from parts of the US government, will likely have their moon colony up and running (on the dark side of the moon) long before any US ship arrives.
The Chinese are not going to be overly concerned over how many people get killed setting that colony up. They’ll call them heroes; get great state funerals and view it as the price to be paid to get there.
Once the colony is established, they will take advantage of it!
Thanks - at 7AM
7AM - The mission will likely either be completed or blowed up by the time I log on tomorrow.
PS I hope for successful completion.
Bozos needs to spend more time at Blue Origin and less time with Lauren and her “two friends.”
So far he recreated what Project Mercury’s first flight did 60 years ago. Whoopee
Thank you for the transcript!
ESA has hired SpaceX for several launches while wait for the ESA Arianne 6 rocket. Even if the Arianne 6 were not 4 years behind schedule, it costs A LOT, and IS NOT REUSABLE. The workhorse Falcon 9, each individual rocket, is used at least 20 times. Eventually, the plan is to use each individual Falcon 9 rocket 40 times. This drives down the cost of each launch.
SpaceX has launched the satellites of a competitor to Starlink. Even the Amazon Board insisted on considering SpaceX as one of the rocket companies to launch the Amazon satellites.
They have launch windows for the next two days if they need them.
Ah, thanks for the info.
This is the lunar/Mars booster system?
OK. Wasn’t clear on what you meant.
The BE4 engines performed spectacularly on that launch.

Flight Test 5. Consists of Booster 12 and Starship 30. Big event will be catching Booster 12 on descent with the tower arms.
Mars is much much much much much much later.
Yeah man. Amazing reesponse by onboard telemetry. They had to gimbal the heck out of those two mains to hold trajectory. Sooo awesome to see. And the SRB...such it happened but the barrell didn’t unzip and blow the whole mission. Had the failure been a tiny bit fore...booom!
” armchair astronauts “
That describes you perfectly.
Maybe he should stop using illegals to build his stuff. ???
Unlock 41.
Yeah, heh, SpaceX does launches for the wannabee competitors of Starlink. Both the working Starlink network and launching competitors’ sats produces income for SpaceX.
If they want to put up a competing system, A) they are pretty much going to have to use the most cost-effective method and B) have their work cut out for them:
[snip] As of September 2024, there are 6,426 Starlink satellites in orbit, of which 6,371 are working, according to Astronomer Jonathan McDowell who tracks the constellation on his website. [/snip] https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-satellites.html
Projected lifespan of these is five years, and the eventual constellation may be as many as 42000 sats.
Meanwhile, the SpaceX launch cadence continues to rise. One unexpected bounty of the Falcon 9 is, they designed it so well that the fretting about needing Starship to get Starlink fully operational turned out to be groundless.
[snip] Since June 2010, rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 391 times, with 388 full mission successes, three failures,[a] and one partial failure. [/snip] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_Heavy_launches
IMHO, SpaceX should volunteer its services to deliver that NASA lunar rover using one Falcon Heavy launch, engineering and building the upper stage and the landing vehicle during a lunch hour. :^)
My pleasure, the one provided by the uploader was only partial, so I got the YT one to finish it up. :^)
