The footage and audio are horrific and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones left behind.
Where are my balloons!? Anyway Its my 18th orbit! 🥳
The hardest part of my life starts now, if you know what I mean...
Dream chaser now can come back!
But it needs to launch first...
BREAKING: @SierraSpaceCo's Dream Chaser has received a Re-entry licence from the @FAAnews.
This authorizes a return to Vandenberg Space Force Base from Earth orbit.
Re-entry, however, requires Dream Chaser to launch, and when (or if) that happens is a very open question.

I love Falcon's gridfins so much. Here you can see it with a human for scale, alongside with gridfin attachment points and one of the raceways.
@w00ki33 Thanks for great images of Falcon 9!
You can clearly see the crunch wrap/gap filler that sticks out of the nosecone and causes white streakes after reentry as plasma goes over the heat shield
New road delay for Ship 43's rollback ahead of engine installation.
And road delay (likely) for thrust simulator stand to rollback.
This dpesnt make sense if R2 was 230 too. If this is true then R2 should have had significantly less thrust then R3.
I mean just look how high the TWR is on the ship and booster even though V3 is heavier then V2 Starship...
