Serial Number 11 (SN11) rolling towards the test launch stand...should fly maybe within the next two weeks. Check out the scale....see the crawler operator walking behind.

SN11 flight attempt today!

One raptor engine swapped yesterday and it was static fired this AM. Will be the first time a static fire test and flight happen in the same day. This is in line with their eventual wish to turn flights around in the same day.

Anyway, hopefully the flight attempt becomes a flight and becomes the first successful landing.

Livestream link below from the nerd herd at NasaSpaceFlight.

Getting close to the launch of SN11.

Fog is giving long-distance cameras fits for visibility but here's to a successful landing.

BN1 might roll out today for cryo testing in a few days.....that is the first stage booster for Starship. This one won't fly...its a pathfinder edition......to learn how to build and transport.

stormydds: Thanks for your response. I felt that is the case. that's too bad. Has there been any peer reviewed papers on the LRC hypothesis? Nov 4, 2022 14:01:51 GMT -6

Zack Fradella: Not sure, the LRC is something that takes a lot of work to follow and keep up with. It's not as easy as looking at the parameters and making a forecast. This deters many from even giving it a chance. Also, there is some doubt from the weather world. Nov 4, 2022 3:38:49 GMT -6

stormydds: Zack, a friend had a meeting in Lafayette which Rob Perillo spoke.He asked him why the LRC is not used to forecast hurricanes by NOAA.His answer was that Lezak won't share the info.I saw the podcast you and David made with Gary.He seemed open.What gives? Nov 3, 2022 14:39:19 GMT -6
