The tower still stands! So it can’t be *that* bad. Won’t be surprised if one of the cameras took a beating, but at least we didn’t lose everything. Thanks for the view @LabPadre, appreciate it!
Adam@traxman25· Mar 30, 2021@Erdayastronaut @considercosmos @SpacePadreIsle @Erdayastronaut is this your tripod? Looks like it hopefully survived mostly ok? Hopefully just knocked out of alignment.
Screen grab from Labpadre.

Barely a scratch. :)
Back on the stand soon!
Will report conclusions as soon as we know them.

Please consider moving to Starbase or greater Brownsville/South Padre area in Texas & encourage friends to do so!
SpaceX’s hiring needs for engineers, technicians, builders & essential support personnel of all kinds are growing rapidly.

Starbase will grow by several thousand people over the next year or two

Could we have a boring loop from Brownsville International Airport to South Padre Island and eventually Starbase?

I sure hope so!

Would be great to make Starbase and surrounding area run on 100% renewable energy!

@elonmusk · Mar 30, 2021
Agreed! We’re not super far, as Magic Valley Utility can give us almost all wind-power, which will be used for LOX (78% of propellant mass)/N2/argon distillation. We’re also aiming to increase solar power from 1MW to 10MW, paired with Tesla Megapacks, for continuous power.

BN1 is a manufacturing pathfinder, so will be scrapped. We learned a lot, but have already changed design to BN2.
Goal is to get BN2 with engines on orbital pad before end of April. It might even be orbit-capable if we are lucky.

SN15 rolls to launch pad in a few days. It has hundreds of design improvements across structures, avionics/software & engine.
Hopefully, one of those improvements covers this problem. If not, then retrofit will add a few more days.

@elonmusk · Mar 30, 2021
Next major technology rev is at SN20. Those ships will be orbit-capable with heat shield & stage separation system. Ascent success probability is high.
However, SN20+ vehicles will probably need many flight attempts to survive Mach 25 entry heating & land intact.

At least the crater is in the right place!

@elonmusk · Mar 30, 2021
Looks like engine 2 had issues on ascent & didn’t reach operating chamber pressure during landing burn, but, in theory, it wasn’t needed.
Something significant happened shortly after landing burn start. Should know what it was once we can examine the bits later today.

Demand is no problem, but near-term cell supply makes it hard to scale Semi. This limitation will be less onerous next year.

Wake up bright & early, SpaceX's window is from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 [12:00 UTC - 18:00 UTC] for the #SN11 test flight! Weather is definitely iffy, but we'll be ready to go with our ultra low latency, high quality pad camera! Join us at 5:45 a.m. [10:45 UTC] youtu.be/myVvmb2dF9U

Given the crazy high cadence of SpaceX Starship launches, you'd think the FAA would have an inspector down there permanently at this point.

Elon, seems like I'm still shadow-banned ... 🤦♂️
Can you help me out? This seems like a widespread problem, Twitter needs to fix their spam detection algorithm. @elonmusk

Pranay Pathole@PPathole· Mar 28, 2021Still unresolved ... sigh ... This is so dumb, there are literally 100's of verified crypto / spam bots active and unbanned (some of them impersonating me), yet I am the one somehow who's still affected.
