Looks like Darwin DID do his work.

They ever determine why the booster went boom after they caught it?

This is technically astounding.
Not astounding: A NASA launch costs billions. SpaceX 10 million.

Even more impressive is that the boosters are designed to be reused in an hour after initial launch.

Just inspected the Starship booster, which the arms have now placed back in its launch mount. Looks great!

A few outer engine nozzles are warped from heating & some other minor issues, but these are easily addressed.

Government vs private.

Government vs private.

Absolutely. It's incredible what they have achieved. I have no doubt we'll be on Mars in our lifetime.

I should’ve also said, government spending vs private saving.

The sheer scale of Superheavy is insane. Photos struggle to do it justice.

I thought they were sonic booms.

I thought they were sonic booms.

I can't find the article now. Within 30 minutes of it landing I had read that even though it exploded it was considered a success.

The starship “landed” on target in the water and then exploded but that was intended. The booster didn’t explode.
