A.R.S.E.

Can't wait!

Going to be a fascinating thing to watch.

Was cancelled with about 15 mins to go. They'll try again in 2-3 days.

I'm impressed it can stand there without falling over, let alone take off.

Well it launched! Amazing

And then it experienced, what SpaceX called a 'rapid unscheduled disassembly'

So rad. Seeing it lift off is just a little mind bending.
That looked like a real KSP monstrosity let loose.

I cant wait to show my kids this launch tonight.

Made a bit of a mess of the launch pad!!

Analysis of what went wrong

The Starship is assembled again. Just waiting for FAA approval for another launch attempt.

The Starship is going for another launch on Saturday.
I think 1pm UK time.....ish

It took off this time, but after separation the booster blew up (or was self destructed) before landing and it seems they lost comms with the main stage too about 8 minutes in.

The Odysseus moon lander touches down in about 2 and a half hours at the south pole.

What's cool with this is there's another camera that's going to detach 30m above the ground so it can film the lander landing.
If that works it'll be bloody brilliant!

Good luck to them.

I watched the landing stream but was knackered, so when they lost contact I gave up and went to sleep thinking it'd crashed on landing.

I was quite pleased to see the news this morning.

Oh no, looks like it caught a foot on a rock and tipped over at the last second.
Amazing how difficult it is to land on the moon.

It tripped.

It really puts into perspective how amazing it was that almost 20 years ago we launched a robot that successfully (just about) landed on a comet.
