All things SpaceX - Updates and Discussion

Ship looks incredible. Can’t wait for launch

Starship #42

They of course have a sense of humor...although I would have painted this too:

SpaceX is targeting today, Friday, November 13, 2026, for the launch of Starship Flight 15 at 5:45 p.m. EST (2245 GMT)

BUT

The Starship upper stage (Ship 42) is expected to be caught at 4:17 p.m. EST (3:17 p.m. CST / 2117 UTC) on Saturday, November 14, 2026

What About It

 

[F-22Raptor]

Big day for humanity

 

[F-22Raptor]

Good ascent, stage sep, and boostback. Booster was diverted to the Gulf. Not sure why they didn’t attempt booster catch.

Good ascent for Starship, now in orbit and deploying Starlinks.

 

[F-22Raptor]

All 26 V3 Starlinks have been deployed. Starship also passed through the first checkpoint successfully. Next checkpoint is around halfway through the mission.

 

[F-22Raptor]

Great footage of the booster return. Tower issue maybe?

 

[F-22Raptor]

Starship still performing well 13 hours into flight.

Update on booster: The booster aborted itself due to a guidance, navigation, control issue. Seeing the return video it makes me wonder if SpaceX is being too cautious?
