Standard procedure is to de-orbit failing or obsolete satellites. There's not enough atmosphere to burn all those satellites up on reentry.

If it's like Starlink, yes.

Yea I didn't see anywhere that they identified the orbit. For that application I wouldn't be surprised if they used a GEO orbit and super synch retired birds.

They will need ground stations first.
Will not consider until nfl Sunday ticket is working well on mars.

Why not just watch the MFL at that point?nortex97 said:

True, but based on my fantasy football management experience, not sure I want to bring that voodoo to the free people of Mars. It will also take decades until Martian football can rise to our expectations/standards.
The weighted balls will really impact the kicking game, imho. Interplanetary trade rules will have to be established. I already like Martian refs better though.

Mars sports are gonna be weird. We'll have a good decade at least of streaming earth sports
Thinking about Martian sports is crazy. If there were interplanetary competition how do you control for the gravity difference? Do we have a big humidor like Coors field for the baseballs?

This was flight 5 and I think 6 is landing in the same area
Can't believe they went from "we can't stop it from tumbling in space" to "we picked a postage stamp next to a camera and landed on it" in one freaking flight
Two flights. The next flight was the"little flap that could."
It landed but I think it missed its target point due to flight control limitations
Still behind freaking impressive!
Home field advantage is going to be stout.AgBQ-00 said:

Fun video.
I guess…Vandenberg will wind up getting starship launches after all, or is this a concept for FH?
Should be fun.
Here's some interesting screenshots of SLC-6 from the official FONSI (Finding Of No Significant Impact) document. I wonder what rocket would require 2 pads for a double RTLS? 🤔

UPDATE TIME!!! You all keep asking "Where is the Apollo video", well... it just keeps going 😂 Shooting an additional 8 pages of script today (roughly 40 minutes of edited video). This video will likely be nearly 2 and a half hours long. Nope, not breaking it up into parts, nope,…

Gonna be exciting to watch it explode the first time they try to catch one.
Honestly, can we say they copied SpaceX if we call them chopsticks??!!??
At least they'll be attempting to drop their rockets on their launch facilities instead of their civilians.Centerpole90 said:

Would be much more fitting if there were made of wood
Ship 31 is outside and expected to roll to the pad first, ahead of Flight 6.

We're 170 hours to launch!

Deleted lots of TPS!
I see one of the images mentions RP-1... That would have to be FH. Also landing pads would suggest FH unless Elon has some landing legs tucked away that no one knows about yet.nortex97 said:

She was giving presentation at Conaces conference and as part of Q&A she said that if 6th flight goes well (raptor relight so they can go to orbit on future flights), they are hoping on catching the ship within 6 months.
Link to presentation: https://www.youtube.com/live/zt8WrIAa2Ok?si=DXW5WXS-C8Jf4tJv Question was asked around 35mins
she also said elon wants to do 25 flights in 2025

Right now looking at the weather forecast - Friday the 22nd looks like an incredible day for the launch.
Monday the 18th not so much.
