It is so tempting to make a 500 ton thrust Raptor 4 in place of the 250 ton Raptor 3 for the outer ring of the Starship booster

Starship is preparing for catch Flight 15 is targeting to launch as early as Friday, November 13, pending regulatory approval → spacex.com/launches/starship…

𝗠𝗜𝗨𝗥𝗔 𝟱: 𝗙𝗧𝗦 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲!🚀 We've successfully completed performance testing of MIURA 5’s Flight Termination System (FTS). Using pyrotechnic devices, the test demonstrated the system’s ability to destroy the stage’s primary structure in the event of an in-flight anomaly. This validation provides the evidence required to move forward with a major regulatory approval and brings MIURA 5 another step closer to operational readiness.

Ship 42 static fires complete. The Starship preparing for Flight 15 performed a full duration, six-engine static fire, and fired a single Raptor engine to simulate a deorbit burn

Raptor 4 will be 300 tons of thrust at sea level and hopefully about the same mass

Full duration 33-engine static fire for the Super Heavy booster preparing for Flight 15

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

The mysterious tent structure at SpaceX's McGregor site is..... venting?

The first Starship to return to its launch site, Ship 40's journey took it across air, space, and sea. Now that it is vertical alongside three other Starships in a Megabay at Starbase, it will provide first-of-its-kind data on a flown Starship heatshield, Raptor engines, avionics, and more.

Elon Musk on upcoming Starship goals: Flight 15: First ship catch, and first time in history all parts of an orbital rocket have been recovered. If that goes well, Flight 16: First ship re-flight. First time in history all parts of an orbital rocket have been re-flown.
