Aborted at T -00:00.1 :astonished:
Engines started and then automated computer abort. Evaluating whether possible for another attempt today.

Oh lol, was wondering why you posted the NSF stream as the second attempt, since they were still rolling haha. Also mine isn’t previewing, is it coz I copied the link from mobile?

Edit: yep, that’s exactly it.

Was just busy typing this haha. But yeah, SN11 will be about not sploding afterwards(coz checking on Raptors after the launch and landing will be a big thing). Think that might have something to do with the landing legs or perhaps it landed too far from that water canon(coz I could see if barely reached SN10)

Only minutes after? Wonder why it didn’t make it on the SpaceX video :sweat_smile:

Because they signed off long before the splosion happened. I just checked the NSF stream, it blew up a whole 8 minutes after landing.

Also this path is crazy

Fair point, but another video would have been cool :sweat_smile:

That image is really cool! But they’re missing the crapload of fire at the end :grin:

I’m sure Elon will post a epic splosion video soon. He loves those.
On the topic of SpaceX, they just launched and landed a Falcon 9 booster for the 8th time. This is the second time that they have done this. Next milestone is 9 launches. Getting close to that 10 milestone.
