Looking like an abort. They have an hour left in test time will see if they recycle today or go again tomorrow.

@twoffo thanks for posting! 👍

I had something come up I had to leave home for so I missed it live. I just got back an hour ago and just saw they did it about 10 minutes ago.

Bring on SN6 or maybe SN8?🤔

Maybe a mix of SN5 and SN6. Elon has tweeted that there will be several more short hops in order to work on launching, prior to the 20 KM. He also implied they may land then hop from the landing pad. Lots of good info about landing legs as well. I’m too close to bed to extract them all tonight.

I couldn't get over how loud just one of those Raptor engines is. The super heavy booster will have 31 of those and Starship will eventually have 9 total. Just awesome!

I've rewatched 4 different videos a half dozen times already.

This interesting at least it's some kind of news regarding Blue Origin.



This will be quite impressive. New Glenn is supposed to be bigger than a Falcon 9.

NG - 322 ft high
F9 - 230 ft high

NG - 22 ft diameter
F9 - 12 ft diameter
