Well done Elon. I'm sure this was a great finding that couldn’t have been discovered any other way. Totally worth the hundreds of hours of work and billions of dollars spent on the development of your biggest toy thats now at the bottom of the ocean.
Well atleast we now know how Super Heavy+Star Ship flies with engines that got damaged during launch.

SpaceX Starship first TestFlight
Tumblr media
SpaceX finally launched the full stack of starship. Now, normally rockets do one of two things, they either work or they explode with the upper stage either working or falling short of orbit. Spacex however have managed a middle ground where the first stage continuously explodes while still managing to work only for the upper stage to not deploy at all.
Tumblr media
It also appears that one of the hydraulic power units exploded about 30 seconds into the flight. The force of the rocket also dug out a hole under the launch platform.
Tumblr media
This not only created a mushroom cloud but also flung up chunks of concrete. One of which damaged the vehicle of NASASpaceFlight YouTube channel who were there filming.

Description:
By 3128, the ComStar remnants of the Maclnir Commonwealth were closing on the end of multiple reconstruction efforts. Along with social reforms and steady cultural improvements, the industries of the now conquered Nilgaard Fiefdom saw various safety and technological upgrades to improve their efficiency. In a state of relative stability and with several colonies branching out from the core worlds, the Commonwealth sought a means to both further improve its local defenses and form a symbol for national identity.
As repair centres were reconfigured into construction silos for the establishment of new mechs, groups of engineers were tasked with the so-called City Denial Unit. The core concept behind the machine was simple - An heavily armoured and extremely heavily armed mech capable of engaging enemy targets at extreme range, and holding back superior numbers of enemy targets. Taking inspiration from the likes of the Awesome, Omega, and concepts for a Black Watch upgrade never put into production, the project underwent multiple theoretical prototypes for nearly four years. Most were found lacking in their intended defensive role, eventually forcing the group to restart from scratch, eventually shifting focus to the Atlas III as a guideline. The result of this was a Superheavy class mech which, while lacking the varied weaponry of the Republic of the Sphere’s Tripod project, nevertheless fitted with the intended design specifications.
Armed with four ER Large Lasers, a Light Gauss Rifle, and a Rotary AC/5, the SIR-7W was lightly armed compared with rival Superheavy builds but nevertheless effective. This was further accounted for by an extremely rugged design, which saw its build protected by 40 tons of Endo-Steel armour plating, with its ammo housings protected by CASE II. This was then further improved with the addition of a Guardian ECM Suite and four Anti-Missile Systems; with the intention of limiting an enemy attacker’s ability to track its movements or disable the mech at long range. Tests saw repeated refinements of the design, with the additions of two hip-mounted Small Lasers to help counter infantry attacks, and strengthened supports to its spinal joints.
Nevertheless, the Siege Perilous' final design was far from perfect. The extreme weight of the armour meant that compromises were made. Rear sections of its leg actuators were left exposed, meaning that a surprise attack from behind could potentially cripple the mech. Furthermore, many additional functions planned for implantation - particularly a C3 Command Computer and Beagle Active Probe - were abandoned along with a conceptual Thumper Artillery turret fitted to its dorsal plating. This meant that the mech could not wholly defend a city without support, and while able to guard entire flanks of a battle, was not a single army unto itself. It was further tied to its role as a defense unit, particularly in the flat and open landscapes of the Commonwealth homeworlds, limiting its deployment to various locations.
Nevertheless, the mech proved extremely effective in its chosen role, both in the defense of the colony Altarion against a Nilgaard restoration group. Thus far two have been manufactured. The original, dubbed Leviathan (or Lucille by most of its crew), remains stationed in Khigan to serve both as a test-bed for upgrades and to help defend the capital city.
Some context here - A few friends and I are considering making a small section of the galaxy for ourselves, to run campaigns in and work without having to directly deal with the ongoing plot. The option's there to do so, but just not to be tied to it. Well, two of those involved decided to push to have unique mechs made and this was accepted. I was initially looking into how to upgrade the Flashman, until one guy showed his plans for a Superheavy armed with six Thumper Artillery Guns. Yes we did fudge a lot of numbers to make this all work.
As for the Commonwealth? I'll have to add a short breakdown on them here at some point.

Honestly @elonmusk should move @spacex to Florida as the FAA is intentionally being indecisive. Starship should have launched In December last year. @jeffbezos odds of getting @blueorigin into orbit are higher right now than Starship & Super Heavy launching from Texas.
I honestly wish the FAA would either say yes or no so we can move to the next optional launch site.

SpaceX conducted a new flight test of its Super Heavy rocket and Starship prototypes, launched from its base in Boca Chica, Texas. This is the third test involving the entire system of Elon Musk's company which is supposed to revolutionize space travel with an unprecedented transport capacity and being totally reusable. In this case, however, they are prototypes with the Super Heavy identified as Booster 10 and the Starship identified as Starship 28 or Ship28 or simply S28. After the second test conducted on November 18, 2023, many changes were made to the Super Heavy and Starship systems. Despite the upgrades, they don't have the safety requirements required to conduct controlled landings, so the plans continue to have the test ending with both vehicles splashing down.
