Absolutely thrilled with the way IFT-4 played out. Great data. I have to wonder if they are still going to *try to* fly the remaining block 1 starships.  I have to say something that not everyone accepts well, but... I am not an obsessed Elon fan, I am absolutely obsessed with his companies and their successes/results.

Here's the booster landing in the Indian Ocean:  

That was amazing!  I cannot believe Starship actually had a soft water landing after you could see one of the flaps burning up in real time and other stuff obviously burning.  And the flap was still working, even though a big chunk of it was missing, just astounding.  Watching stuff fly off the ship with plasma everywhere was just nuts.  And the landing of the booster in the water was incredible, unbroken video all the way to splash down. And another good Raptor performance, only one motor was out at launch, but the other 33 remained stable, plus both relights (boost back burn and landing burn) worked as expected. It would have been amazing to see exterior footage of Starship coming back down, likely with parts of it on fire, but still relit the engines and landed upright, presumably (from the data coming back, looks like it hit fairly slowly, if the data was accurate).   Now SpaceX has an enormous amount of video and data to pore over before IFT5! This video is crazy: https://x.com/krassenstein/status/1798715585896833295 Elon confirming it made a soft landing (which means it was landing under power and did the crazy flip maneuver right before firing up the engines):    

What trail are you riding that's trying to be burrtastic?

I now have three pairs of dedicated burr socks because I've given up picking them clean. When all three pairs are dirty I hand wash them by themselves.
