News24: ‘God of Chaos’ asteroid plummeting towards Earth Space.com: “Huge asteroid Apophis will safely fly past Earth tonight. Here’s where to watch live online.”
And SN11 is on the launch pad already. Had an aborted static fire engine test yesterday. Something wrong with one of the main engines. More tests today. Still scheduled for launch by Friday.
Will SN11 be the one to stick the landing and keep it stuck?
Yeah saw the first static fire and waiting on the next one. But they know what went wrong in SN10 so will hope that SN11 does it all right. But so far each iteration has done things little bit better every time.
The only thing is, if SN11 fails, there will be a bit of a break because next up is SN15, and they still need to start stacking on that one.

@Disclosure Tv We haven’t attempted flight yet. We’ve decided where we’ll be deploying it from the rover. Once the Mars Helicopter is safely on the ground in the coming days, we’ll attempt 1st flight.
Been watching on and off all day. 15 minutes ago saw them dropping one of the lifts, thought “it’s happening!” Went to get a coffee, came back to the red “Scrub” banner
