It will also fly a new trajectory, with Starship targeted to splashdown in the Indian Ocean. This new flight path enables us to attempt new techniques like in-space engine burns while maximizing public safety. ok, ok, it=C2=B4s possible the 2nd stage will burn up on re-entry due to lost tiles, or they will find a truly impressive way to blow up the main stage on re-entry also, but space is hard, and today I am putting faith in luck - third time=C2=B4s the charm! --=20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DN0Tmvv5jJKs Epik Mellon Podcast Dave T=C3=A4ht CSO, LibreQos
