On Thursday, March 14, Elon Musk's SpaceX launched the third test flight of its Starship Super-Heavy rocket, the platform the company is pushing to take humans to the moon and Mars.

Super-Heavy Ping!........................
Very good news for America.
Well done X !
The first load of “humans” to send to the moon and Mars should be this planet’s illegal alien populations. Give them a chance to really “have a better life” and build one back better as Nikita Bidenchev says.
👍
Very Impressive!
I was amused when one of the narrators referred to the booster as “the Superheavy”. :^)
Some videos. Looks like they lost it after video 3. Still a great success

Maybe he mistook it for Fani Willis................
no rodent hitchhikers?
Joy Reid/BSNBC to accuse Elon in 3-2-1...
Communications (As we know it) is impossible during re-entry....................
Those days are long over..............maybe a gerbil or two, later...............
I believe that at first they were going to call it The BFR. That’s Big Falcon Rocket, or so we assume.
Someone pointed out that even though it was lost on the way down, the system has the capability of putting 200 tons in orbit as is.
There’s the blackout, but in this case, I think the rotation doomed the Starship. If you can’t keep the heatshield pointed down, Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly is a likely outcome.
:^)
or it could be it’s own Space-station ,LOL
Only democrats for Mars.
I guess there is a plasma hole behind the rocket during re entry. They were able to transmit back up to star link and then back down to earth. That is how they got comms deep into re-entry. Very slick.
