Reports of SN11 venting tonight. Tomorrow should start the cryo/pressure tests, then raptor tests. Hopefully another hop as soon as this weekend.
Elon mentioned that the SN10 single engine lost some thrust during the landing causing a harder landing, crushing the landing legs, which did deploy. |

I am looking forward to this! Things will start getting much more spicy!! The numbers are not set yet, but lets just say 'lots' [~28] of raptors will be in this booster.
Reports that stacking of BN1 has started! |

SN11 tested this AM. It was very foggy at the site, not many visuals. No landing, a lot of falling debris. Looks like the flight termination system was used.

Were they using the Autopilot software in the fog? Maybe that's the problem.

I saw today where Musk beat out Bezos for the lander first mission back to the Moon despite not having yet successfully landed his. Apparently his bid was significantly below the price of everyone else because he is funding half of it through his commercial ventures.

'Challenger: The Final Flight' was a good look into the risks vs the rewards. You can visibly see who lives with the devils and who does not in the faces of those interviewed.

Amazing progress. Starting to feel good about the US space program again.
