Starship Flight 2
This is now just another Starship spam channel that's right woo baby all we talk about is this. I mean I am inherently very excited for Starship because it is just a very interesting launch vehicle, although my interests are more broad in space than just that take notes people. Coping I guess. I mean even people who hate the program find it at least very engaging; even more than the things that they like to extent.
Now the question on everyone's minds is how successful was this flight? How does it compare to the previous flight?
Well at a baseline, the pad isn't totalled, so that's nice. The steel plate worked and minimized damage. That side of the infrastructure will presumably no longer be a bottleneck for future flights. Well, ok there will be scrubs and work continues; but presumably it seems like it won't generate month long pauses.
Booster 9 performed it's job as a first stage well; getting to staging with no apparent major issues with it's 33 engines, which would be good enough for most launch vehicles. As a reusable stage however it failed. It appears that relighting one engine failed in the dynamic situation post stage separation for boostback causing a cascade of failures and overall explosion. I'm pretty happy with how it performed; it's not going to inhibit future launches and restrict future flight tests. Falcon 9 first stage recovery took it's time as well; but didn't inhibit Falcon 9 customers as development was happening. The main concern would be that in future, there's not enough Super Heavy's for launches because those are very large and complicated stages with 33 Raptors. And so the associated delays with the recovery effort because of this failure could have longer term schedule impact.
Though recovering early boosters honestly isn't too valuable either. Well ok, it is valuable because you can look at the hardware and see how it performed and some of the most valuable data you can collect in regards launches and reliability. But like; vehicles are inherently going to become less valuable over time given SpaceX rapid iteration and development. Having a vehicle be initially expendable while you figure what is the optimal design points is something I think is reasonable. Even with Falcon 9 Block 5 the later boosters are a fair bit better than the earlier ones.
Starship 25 however less so. A. SpaceX where were the on board views? We were robbed. More to the point though, it failed during the second stage burn which means they have to repeat this flight. Yes you want to test; but you also do want to continuingly expand what your testing if you want a reasonable schedule. If SN10 had of succeeded in landing, SN11 and maybe even SN15 probably wouldn't have flown. Still it did hot stage which was a risk point and burn for a good portion of time; so it would seem like with fixes they would have reasonable odds of going the full way on next launch. To quote Handsome Jack, "that's the sound of progress baby." Tiles fell off but I maintain that tiles aren't important for the reusable launch system while the launch system part isn't working.
Are SpaceX closer to their goals after this flight? Should they be closer? Is this a close to optimal balance of schedule, budget and hardware? Evaluations that I don't really feel like making.
The thing to watch for and baseline as assessment of program execution as I set out in a previous post is turn around time for the next flight.
The current metric to watch for Starship progress will be turn around time from flight 2 to flight 3. Sub 2 months is indicating that the program is going really well, 3-4 months is alright, 5+ months is bad.
I'll adjust it to say 3 months is good, 4 months ok to give myself some margin. High flight rate devalues the impact of individual failures. But again, I don't think it's worthwhile to have to repeat tests instead of spending some extra effort to avoid predictable problems. So if the next flight doesn't reach Hawaii (not successful reentry, but just on a trajectory basis), I would consider that a pretty big failure. Whereas I reasonably happy with this launch. You have to fly hardware some time, but you wouldn't fly B4S20.

SpaceX giant rocket explodes minutes after launch from Texas
Boca Chica, Texas – SpaceX’s Starship SN11 prototype exploded on Tuesday during a test flight, marking the fourth consecutive failure of the company’s latest and most ambitious spacecraft. SN8 and SN9, which launched in December and February respectively, crash landed and exploded, while SN10 successfully landed then blew up a few minutes later during its test on March 3.
The explosion occurred just minutes after the rocket lifted off from the company’s testing facility in Boca Chica, Texas. The Starship prototype, which was designed to eventually transport humans to the moon and Mars, experienced an apparent malfunction during its ascent and was destroyed in mid-air.
The incident was captured on live video feed, which showed the spacecraft disintegrating into a fiery ball and falling to the ground. No injuries were reported, but the blast could be felt for miles around the testing site.
SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk tweeted shortly after the incident, saying, “At least the crater is in the right place!” Musk has been a vocal proponent of the Starship program and has said that he hopes to use the spacecraft to colonize Mars within the next decade.
The Starship program has faced a string of setbacks in recent months, with three previous prototypes suffering similar explosions during testing. The failures have raised questions about the feasibility of Musk’s ambitious plans for human spaceflight and the safety of the company’s testing methods.
Despite the setbacks, SpaceX has continued to push forward with the Starship program and has already begun work on the next prototype, SN15. The company has also secured contracts with NASA and other space agencies to use the spacecraft for future missions.
In a statement following the SN11 explosion, SpaceX said it was still committed to developing the Starship program and that it would continue to learn from its failures.
“We are disappointed that the SN11 test flight ended in an explosion, but as always, we are grateful for the data the test provided,” the company said. “The Starship program is critical to advancing space exploration and we remain fully committed to its success.”
The cause of the SN11 explosion is still under investigation, but SpaceX says it will release more information as it becomes available. Despite the setback, the company remains confident that it can overcome the technical challenges of developing a spacecraft that can transport humans to other planets.

SpaceX might be going for a static fire and the flight today.
Keeping my fingers crossed🤞

Rest In Pieces SN11.
Another launch, another RUD. But, like Elon Musk said himself "If things aren't failing, you are not innovating enough"
Though it is a bit unfortunate that we could not witness 11's fiery end.
Onto SN15. To a good launch and landing for the next starship.

Good evening my most learned yet unpretentious truth-seeking readers!
I have what I hope will be most useful, if somewhat mundane, information to bring to your attention. It is for your edification, elucidation, and profit that I share this with you tonight.
But first, a word from our favorite spaceship…

Ez nagyszerű, az SN11 felrobbant leszállásnál, de akkora volt a köd, hogy nem lehetett semmit látni, de már az indulásból sem.
A repülés közben meg egyszerűen elment a telemetria, akkor meg azért nem lehetett semmit látni
