It’s really annoying how the mainstream media portrays the second test flight of

Starship. The number of calls, texts and emails I’ve gotten that somehow related to “Sorry to see that they had a such a Launch Disaster” just shows how the public still trusts the media -
Thirty. Three. Raptors.
Super stoked to have captured Booster 9 and her Raptor engines in their glory this morning - the was the first time all 33 were successfully ignited with continuous burn through first stage flight.

This was my view at T-3hrs yesterday for the 4th Starship Flight Test. Eventually, the rest of the cameras in the top left screen came online, but with the cloud cover and fog they weren't so helpful.

I find this NASA tweet in their launch thread to be missing some important information. According to their blog post, not only did Cygnus miss its first burn, but the rescheduled burn was aborted.

Boeing has posted a mission update on Starliner.
"Boeing remains confident in the Starliner spacecraft and its ability to return safely with crew."

Is anything else happening in the world other than Starship, Starliner, Starlink and Virgin Galactic?
With all the 'space stuff' going on, I can't keep up with anything else.

This week we (
@Nasaspaceflight
) published a video about STS-125 and its mission to upgrade Hubble before the end of the Shuttle program. A fascinating story that included a rescue Shuttle on standby. Today is the anniversary of the launch of that mission.

RFA provides a very transparent update on their Stage 1 anomaly.

UPDATE on our S1 test anomaly!
Our first stage is gone – but we have collected a significant amount of data and film footage. After reviewing it, we want to share some insights into the technical analysis, preliminary conclusions and our next steps ⬇️

@rookisaacman

This is like a doctor saying, ''We've put your loved one in a medically induced coma, but don't worry they're healthy... no problem.'' I'm no scientist, or engineer, but... I think Hubble's time is limited.
The Hubble Space Telescope has entered safe mode due to a gyro issue, NASA says, adding "Hubble's instruments are stable, and the telescope is in good health;" equipped with 6 new gyros during a final shuttle servicing mission in 2009, only 3 are required for normal operation;

And scrubbed. Nothing like working the stream for 4 hours only to scrub in the last 4 minutes of the countdown. :-( BUT... look at those sexy new countdown graphics!
Shall we try again tomorrow?

BREAKING: FAA will not require mishap investigation for IFT-4 of Starship
"The FAA assessed the operations of the SpaceX Starship Flight 4 mission. All flight events for both Starship and Super Heavy appear to have occurred within the scope of planned and authorized activities."
@evancabnet
I just said this to another friend here on Twitter. Nothing matters. The issues that bother me normally aren’t important, they seem insignificant. The mode right now is survival. The whole world is just trying to survive. And I don’t have an ending for that story, too scary.

As someone who lives in the neighbourhood, I can attest to the fact that it has been open 7 days a week. The entrance is on the other side next to Daybreak. Cars enter, and exit together. A few at a time. I've seen a health care workers shuttle parked there a few times as well.
