Replying to @DJSnM
Yes, the green flame is caused by burning copper from depleting fuel in the regenerative cooling circuit and going oxygen-rich (closer to stoichiometric temperature) in the main combustion chamber. Slight underperformance of engines on this flight is the reason. The booster is meant to land with tiny residuals, so the solution is to improve engine performance and performance consistency (underway with Raptor V3.2), as well as adjust flight software to do MECO1 about one second earlier to ensure enough propellant for boostback and landing (tiny change). These early ships and boosters are already outdated by improved designs in production or on the test stand, so this booster loss does not change our timeline to reach high volume, fully reusable Starship flights.

Oh... thast was quick...
On track for Starship’s 15th flight. The 75-minute launch window opens at 4:45p.m. CT. Live coverage of the mission begins ~42 minutes before launch

It's incredible how this starship flight is cursed to not launch tomorrow but I stilll hope they can receive the ok for launch, we'll wait for news from @SpaceX
MONITORING: The FAA has just issued a nationwide ground stop due to issues regarding frequency across the entire National Airspace System. If not resolved, this will likely affect SpaceX’s Starship Flight 15 launch attempt today.

I had just notice B22 Is rolling to the launch site so we have to assume that FTS is already installed, I will cross that in the tomorrow list if there are more important news
