If you don’t listen to anything else I have to say, just listen to this. I’ve seen alcohol ruin the best and brightest lives first hand, and it’s taken people I love deeply away from me. Please always practice moderation in life and be there for people that are struggling.

Saw this at the Memphis airport today and just thought I’d share. “You cannot procrastinate - in two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.”

No matter what happens, flight 15 will be a great day and you should never bet against SpaceX!

Super Heavy moved to the launch pad at Starbase. Booster 22 is the first Super Heavy V3 booster planned to return to the launch site for catch and was used for final catch testing upon arrival, including a suspended squeeze test at catch height

Really cool graphic projecting out the Starship path with potential timing for ship catch! Thanks as always Aaron for sharing the best analysis and graphics in the biz!

If you’re trying to understand why ~22 hours from launch to catch this is the graphic for you

Flight 15 of Starship coming this Friday! SpaceX teams have been working hard for years to try to complete a catch of booster and ship. Can’t wait to see what they can do and would never bet against the world’s best engineers!

@SpaceXNov 7
Starship is preparing for catch Flight 15 is targeting to launch as early as Friday, November 13, pending regulatory approval → spacex.com/launches/starship…

There’s nothing like having your leader on the front lines. It’s incredible to see the benefits of leaders just asking the troops questions or asking to help fix things.

Armies that win have the general at the front lines. Nobody wants to bleed for the prince in the palace.

4th Starship documentary “Go for Orbit” is now live! Seeing Jeremy, Shana, Lars, Jake, Mark, and the world’s best engineers solve problems is incredibly cool to see up close, so definitely recommend this one if you’ve ever dreamed of being a rocket scientist!

More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space. Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet
