No sure that’s already pretty great. It’s just that given their objectives and their fly-break-fix methodology, they really need to crank up those numbers!
(And also, I’m a bit impatient haha.)

6·5 months agoWell fuck, I’m speechless. Amazing test flight!
I will set my expectations pretty low as usual haha, so that I’m at worst satisfied with the outcome, and at best, pleasantly surprised.
So, I’m thinking the ship is not going to make it to splashdown. If Flight 4 is a repeat of Flight 3 minus the tumbling and with the ship going a bit farther into the reentry, then it’s already progress. For the booster, from the SpaceX article they published some time ago, it seems that the issue requires a redesign, and that the fix applied on Booster 11 is only partial. I wouldn’t be surprised if it still RUDs during the landing burn, but who knows?
What I’m more interested about is the flight rate, which is not so great at the moment.
Yep, could be a multitude of factors. And as others said, he has flown to the ISS now, so maybe it quenched his desire for spaceflight.
Again, it’s fair speculation, and I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but it’s just that, speculation.
Can’t wait for Thursday, it’s going to be great!
Musk sure has derailed since COVID, but making a link between this and the cancellation of DearMoon is… a stretch, at best. Unless you have some source to back up that claim. I’m just nitpicking about the form, since you kind of presented it as a fact while it’s pure speculation (to my knowledge).
We’re getting close, very exciting!

Très intéressant, merci pour le partage.
Le pilote sera développé pour Windows je suppose ? En tout cas, chouette projet !

Really looking forward to tomorrow! I’ll set my expectations low and think that they won’t attempt a catch, so that I can be pleasantly surprised if it happens. Also, I hope the work on the ship’s TPS will be enough to avoid any burn-through this time!
