SpaceX's Second-Gen Starship Signs Off With a Near-Perfect Test Flight

WIRED

This was the last flight of SpaceX's V2 Starship design. Version 3 arrives next year. SpaceX closed a troubled but instructive chapter in its Starship rocket program Monday with a near-perfect test flight that carried the stainless steel spacecraft halfway around the world from South Texas to the Indian Ocean. The rocket's 33 methane-fueled Raptor engines roared to life at 6:23 pm CDT (7:23 pm EDT; 23:23 UTC), throttling up to generate some 16.7 million pounds of thrust, by a large measure more powerful than any rocket before Starship. Moments later, the 404-foot-tall (123-meter) rocket began a vertical climb away from SpaceX's test site in Starbase, Texas, near the US-Mexico border.


Conspiracy theories ignite online as NASA's astronauts return to Earth after 9 months stuck in space - as sceptics claim the splashdown surrounded by dolphins 'looks like CGI'

Daily Mail - Science & tech

After nine months stuck on the International Space Station (ISS), NASA's Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams finally made it back home last night. The duo splashed down off the coast of Florida aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, having arrived at the ISS way back in June. While Wilmore and Williams will be relieved to be back on solid ground, their return has ignited a slew of conspiracy theories - with many sceptics critical of the splashdown in particular. Upon arrival, the capsule was circled by an inquisitive pod of dolphins, which many social media commentators are describing as'fake' and computer-generated. Others have taken it even further, suggesting the entire mission footage from departure to landing was created by a sophisticated AI tool.


SpaceX 'catches' giant Starship rocket booster in fifth flight test

Al Jazeera

SpaceX has launched its fifth Starship test flight from Texas and returned the rocket's towering first-stage booster back to land for the first time, achieving a novel recovery method involving large metal arms. The rocket's Super Heavy first-stage booster lifted off at 7:25 am (12:25 GMT) on Sunday from SpaceX's launch facilities in Boca Chica, Texas, sending the second-stage Starship rocket on a path in space bound for the Indian Ocean west of Australia, where it will attempt atmospheric reentry followed by a water landing. The Super Heavy booster, after separating from the Starship booster some 74km (46 miles) in altitude, returned to the same area from which it was launched to make its landing attempt, aided by two robotic arms attached to the launch tower. "The tower has caught the rocket!!" SpaceX founder Elon Musk posted on X. Towering almost 121 metres (400 feet), the empty Starship arched over the Gulf of Mexico like the four Starships before it that ended up being destroyed, either soon after liftoff or while ditching into the sea. The last one in June was the most successful yet, completing its flight without exploding.


NASA photos show incredible moment Orion splashed back down to Earth

Daily Mail - Science & tech

NASA has shared new photos of the incredible moment the Orion space capsule returned to Earth after flying around the moon. The unmanned Orion capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, west of Baja California, at 09:40 PST (17:40 GMT) on Sunday. Since its launch in mid-November, it has travelled more than 1.4 million miles on a path around the moon and back to Earth. The images show before and after the historic point of impact, which marks the first part of Artemis – NASA's successor to the Apollo programme in the 1960s and 1970s. NASA's Orion Capsule descends toward splash down after a successful uncrewed Artemis 1 Moon Mission on December 11, 2022 seen from aboard the USS Portland in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California, Mexico Artemis 1 is NASA's uncrewed flight test of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft, which launched on November 16 from Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island, Florida.
