Thumbs up SpaceX SN15 Successful Test Flight

SpaceX’s Starship SN15 test flight just completed a successful liftoff, hover, bellyflop maneuver, descent reorientation, and landing — all without exploding minutes afterwards.

SpaceX nails first Starship landing weeks after NASA Moon lander contract (Teslarati)

Cheers!

Yes, I saw that. Some anxious moments when the dust cloud obscured SN15 as it touched down.
No fireball so it was good.

There was also a long shot replay showing the landing pad. It was neat when SN15 came out of the cloud cover with the Raptor engines firing and then stuck the landing.

Isn't it amazing that the 'future' is 'the future' from 50s SF movies - vertical landing rockets.

Teslarati reports SpaceX might relaunch SN15 again!

Elon Musk says SpaceX might refly Starship after historic landing

Cheers!

Great Job. Very impressive, even if it took them a few tries to get it to work...it is rocket science after-all.
