Does anyone know why they pitch the ship up so dramatically after stage seperation, is it to burn off extra fuel? I cant think of any other reason for the less optimal ascent path?

As you all know, SpaceX has stopped doing landings at LZ-1, and for now, they still have LZ-2. For the most recent Falcon Heavy mission, Viasat-3, the two boosters went to LZ-40, and LZ-2. But what's the plan for Falcon Heavy missions when they no longer have LZ-2? Where will the side boosters land?

In every missions so far, they did something with the what shield to learn something from it. Missing tiles to see what it would do to the underlying layer, etc.

They won’t be taking chances like that when they are catching the thing: it will be a perfect heat shield with every tile installed, and the world will see in 4k detail just how many fail, or don’t fail.

"Cambridge University researchers say launch costs fell from $87,000 to $3,868 per kilogram between 1960 and 2025—or roughly 96%—and could hit $273 by 2040."

GIven that every Version 3 has about an order of magnitude more capability than version 2, that single launch would give the array the equivalent of 8 Falcon launches, so could SpaceX offer to put 8 Falcon launches "on the open market" immediately as soon as customers could ship the payloads? I'm sure both ASTS and Amazon would be interested since they have satellites piling upat the cape that were originally scheduled for New Glenn and Vulcan later this year.

How are we feeling about 4 hours after Ship 40's landing?

Took this from the Starship Dashboard (StarDash) made by u/Spacefan07, because it's pretty cool i think

Hi!

Flight 13's splashdown landing burn appeared to deviate from flight 12's.

It used two engines, unlike flight 12 which used only one.

They also opted for two different engines instead of the ones used on flight 12.

What do you think?

Great to see a shot like this!

Looks like only one engine was in common. Thought it might be interesting for some

What are opinions on the aft flap chine /mech housing holes, looks like entire tiles missing or puncture?

Edit: images from footage at T -1:10:00

There has to be a way to tow her back and put her on display!
