Mega old images, but do yall also kinda fw the MK1/MK- silhouette?

This would be a very sad outcome like a year ago with how awful EUS was panning out to be, but now that its with an SLS rocket thats actually not that bad and hopefully with a better cadence increase as Artemis 2-3 is starting to show.. its not that bad of an outcome

This HAS to go well or Vulcan Is basically dead in the water against its own competitor it was supposed to wipe the floor with. Wishing good luck

Well thats weird

so based on what telemtry shows, its seems the Booster runs 250tf on ascent and 230~ for boostback and the ship seems to be running 230 on ascent? so theoretically if they can get Raptor 3 to 250 reliably then they can increase payload margins even more than the definite over 70t they have right now

A Future worth living for

Reflections

Starship landing at LO P-2, this ship functions purely as an escape vehicle in the event of an emergency which is why it has flaps and a heat shield, so it can return to Earth without crew Swapping

Settlement

Until the Dust settles

God this App is so slow man, we been known of dual recovery for like 2 weeks

New Glenn launches the first Artemis IV transfer stage.

I genuinely refuse to believe this, V3 ships TWR is so much higher than V2 despite it being a heavier vehicle and let alone Boosters ascent through and through seems to match a 250tf mark AND SpaceX revealed the 250tf number wayyyyy after Raptor 3 was getting into flight qual tests

Genuinely either Elon is being Elon with Raptor again (like calling Raptor 2 Raptor 3) or SpaceX has been actively lying about Raptor 3s thrust since flight 12 and Elon accidentally told their secret
