I wasn't optimistic it would make orbit, but by gawd it made it.

Re: Outer Space Thread
Now will SpaceX get Starship HLS done in time for Artemis III so they can actually land on the moon in 2-3 years? And the orbital fuel depot that will require 10-16 launches to fill it so Starship HLS can dock with it and top up and even get to the moon? ehhhhhhh...

My niece has worked as an engineer on SRS (a true rocket scientist) for many years. She must be both relieved and very proud. I'll catch up with her at Christmas when we go down to Huntsville, Al where she works.

If they're able to keep these going I might have to travel down there and see one take off. Maybe they could do it during Spring Training.

I would really like to see a launch someday, but I think it’s really difficult to if you have to travel, as they have a very high probability of major delays.ghostrunner wrote: ↑November 16 22, 10:00 amIf they're able to keep these going I might have to travel down there and see one take off.
