The footage and audio are horrific and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones left behind.

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. 📷 @SierraSpaceCo

Starship flight 15 is now targeting NET November 12 Others launches are still targeting the same NET date.
Blue Origin is targeting December 28 for New Glenn's return to flight. Starship flight 15 is still targeting November 8.

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!

Ship 42 performed seemingly a successful Static fire! Next: Flight 15

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...
We can only reliably get to around 230 t-F with Raptor 3

Ship 43 is headed to the launch site (likely) for catch simulation testing.

Moving gridfins! Still there are some things to do but looks pretty good. (I still work on this project almost every day but I didn't have much fun things to show)
New landing legs are sweet (maybe I will add more to them). still working on it every day.

Nominal SF confirmed, Ship 42 is next in few days.
Full duration 33-engine static fire for the Super Heavy booster preparing for Flight 15

The Booster transport stand is moving onto the road ahead of today's Static Fire testing!
Booster 22 is being lifted onto Pad 2!

Looks like they are planning to swap S43 and S42. S43 will come back after it's cryo testing and S42 will occupy the trench for Static Fire testing.
