With IFT-2 scheduled for Friday, we may see the first-ever attempt at #Starship hot-staging take place. Here is a quick animation I put together over the past few days showing what tracking cameras may be able to capture from a distance.

#Starship IFT-2 will utilize a new method called "Hot Staging" to separate #S25 from #B9 in flight. This process includes igniting several engines on S25 while the 3 remaining engines on B9 are deep throttled. This allows S25 to pull away from B9 without acceleration losses. Do

I try to stick to only posting about Starship related content but I just need to say that I'm deeply disturbed by what I just saw. These things have to stop.

#SpaceX has started making some progress on the transpirational steel plate system that will be installed under the #Starbase #Starship OLM. In this thread, I will be detailing the latest findings as well as touching on my process for reverse engineering a system like this. (1/n)

Replying to @AustinDeSisto and @elonmusk
I undid the 25% slow-mo applied to this clip for real-time viewing pleasure! It's pretty neat how fast the stack reacts to throttle up!

SpaceX has made a lot of progress preparing the area around the OLM for the new transpirationally cooled steel plates that will replace the surface below the OLM. I have been observing the changes over the past few weeks and this thread will detail my speculations. 1/n

My technical deep dive on "How SpaceX Will Catch Super Heavy" is in the final stages of completion! It's currently sitting at 31 minutes long and I plan to release it days before #Starship Flight 5. This has been months in the making so I hope you find it informative. Head over

What if #SpaceX took another photo from the top of the tower after the #Starship #S20 and #SuperHeavy #B4 stack with #Mechazilla? Here is a rendering of what it could look like framed almost exactly like the one taken previously. Are there any photos @elonmusk can share?

#SpaceX just crossed another item off the list in the orbital attempt campaign. #Starship #S20 just completed a successful full duration six engine static fire igniting all 3 sea-level Raptors and for the first time all 3 Vacuum Raptor engines.

Over the past few weeks #SpaceX has worked to complete #Starship #S20's heat shield including repairing a number of tiles after #Raptor engine tests shook them loose. S20 now has around 17,000 #Starbricks installed.
