This is just 8 days after a launch. Insane.

It will do a De orbit burn and land by Hawaii. This flight was approved for the first flight that was changed.

Nasa SLS rocket building for years and so many billions and still not finished. Spacex built next reusable starship and booster just in 9 days. It is insane. Spacex vaccum and raptor engines insane production keep them moving very fast.

I’m guessing NASA won’t allow/accept the risk of a catch right at 39A, hence a separate catch tower at KSC.

Whoops the thumbnail and Caption is clearly wrong. This is video is definitely not booster 13 lift onto to OLM

[flashback]

Just because there's a scaffold there, this is clearly just a test fit.
