What SpaceX Just Did with Starship Booster 11 Recovery Shocked Whole Industry!
While waiting for regulatory approval for Starship Flight 5, SpaceX discovered a treasure trove under the ocean.
It's Starship Super Heavy Booster Flight 4 which set a major milestone for the Starship flight in June.
Although not intact, it gives more details about what actually happened to the vehicle during the flight.
This comes in addition to a comment from Musk talking about his intention on this remaining debris.
Find out everything in today's Techmap episode.

What SpaceX Just Did with Starship Booster 11 Recovery Shocked Whole Industry!
On June 6, SpaceX marked a major milestone in the development of its Starship Super Heavy rocket. They launched on nail-biting 4th test flight of the world's most powerful rocket.
The historic testing witnessed SpaceX complete its two main goals:
For the first time, Super Heavy completed a successful landing burn while Starship made it through reentry – despite extensive burn damage to a forward flap – and softly landed in the Indian Ocean. The amazing sight of both the Super Heavy booster and its Ship sent spectators at SpaceX's mission control at Starbase into a frenzy of cheers.
This marks a major step in the Starship program and paves the way for future, more intensive test flights. Especially, the fact that Booster 11 achieved a successful soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, showcases advancements in SpaceX's reusable rocket technology. This flight not only demonstrated the booster's capability to return from space but also set the stage for even more ambitious recovery attempts in future missions including the first catch attempt by Mechazilla in Flight 5.

And now, after over three months from the test, SpaceX is conducting to pull the sunken Starship booster from the Gulf off Starbase. Indeed, on September 22, Elon Musk shared an epic photo of Booster 11 coming out of the sea.
According to the sources, the operation was conducted by HOS Ridgewind, a 260-foot-long offshore service ship, seen last week.
At first glance, according to viewers, after three months of sinking under the ocean, the vehicle is like an ancient underwater relic. Like Pirates of the Caribbean. Or kinda looks like a Kraken.
Additionally, most of the parts of the huge vehicle were destroyed except for several Raptor engines in the outer ring. That doesn't matter because SpaceX initially did not intend to recover any stages of the vehicle after Flight 4. However, in the latest photo, Elon replied in a confusing way:

I'm totally a SpaceX fan, but no, whatever they "Just did " did not Shock the world.
Your title is Clickbait, not shocking btw.

[gideonking]

For goodness sake, how could you think that "fixer upper" is anything other than a simple joke?!

[robertf]

I was initially surprised when SpaceX indicated that it would NOT try to recover Booster 11 after the flight. I had thought that the engineers would want to study the thing to obtain data that the onboard sensors would miss, things that they hadn't thought of earlier.

[genelegear]

Fixer-upper was a joke from Musk. Like I would describe a farm tractors sitting in the weeds for 30

[darkfox]

Thanks for saying . " this would doom humanity" has to be said. Thanks

In late November 2024, the FAA will announce the rescheduled public meetings, which will have an extended comment and review period due to the holidays.
There was no other reason to cancel the original public meetings.

[jonnyg]

So sick of USA's red tape. Get outta here with all this crap months before an election!

[Espen_Danielsen]

Fixer upper = Refurbishment to prevent further damage before going to museum!

[andrewmacgregor]

"That was a joke son! I keep pitchin' em and you keep missin' em."

[heliobessonirodrigues]

"fixer upper" means nothing. It was just a dad joke.

[chrisglen-smith]

Stopped watching after video seemed to treat Musk's "fixer upper" comment as a suggesting they would rebuild it. Channel is either stupid or it thinks it's audience is.

Alleged licence violations caused by the FFA snail pace LUDDITE review of SPACEX operations.
Of the two Alleged licence violations, moving from one building to another, or a new fuel plant, both have worked fine without incedent over the last 14 months.

I believe Elon will recycle this old scrap metal, to remove contaminants, to purify the metal to be reused to create new rocket vehicles to launch into space. This has been SpaceX success and very cost effective .

[edzuris]

The center engines would be the most interesting to study. Perhaps they were collected earlier?

[thethreegamers-nous]

that's what i think what's going to happen

[pingpong]

As you fail to understand something as simple as an off-handed joke made about a photo of a busted spaceship made by a man known for off-handed jokes and comments, what use can you be as a blogger?

[notapplicable]

They shouldn't bother with the FAA... :P

[guypehaim]

As far as booster 11 being a "fixer upper", I could see possibly rebuilding some of the engines.

[nonsumdignus]

Elon Musk and his SpaceX Rocketmen are GOAT. BOEING and their D.E.I. hires are not. Now you tell me BOEING and their Starliner disaster left two astronauts stranded on the ISS till February 2025. And get this, those Astronauts will have to hitch a ride on a Elon Mus SpaceX Dragon to get home.

Elon Musk for NASA head.
