The SpaceX Starship launched and was caught.
This is a new age for space with the booster catch. Fully resuable starship booser. If there is no incident with the orbital starship which should have no reentry damage with a massively improved heat shield then flight 6 should be in weeks and flight 7 could reuse this booster. We will need only 6 new raptor engines and new Starships. Likely flight 6 or flight 7 will have a catch attempt for the Starship.
I expect the rest of the STarship orbital mission to be good as they improved the heat shield for re-entry and they got Starship 4 into its planned ocean landing last time despite a lot of damage.
If they have half centimeter accuracy and a good heat shield. This is going to work amazingly. I am very confident of the consistency of this going forward. Starship catches will work. Fully and rapid reusability will work.
The SpaceX Starship launched 5:25 PST.
Booster is going back to the launchpad. Catch was good.
If all goes well the booster should return and land on the Mechazilla launch tower about ten minutes after launch. IF this launch is scrubbed then it will be attempted in 48 hours.
The Starship will land in the Indian Ocean.
They have improved the heat shield so the burnthrough problems of the fourth launch are prevented.
The 1-million square foot Starfactory brings many parts of the manufacturing process under one roof moving as much system integration work as possible earlier in the build process, with the goal of eventually producing 1,000 Ships a year.
