Starship launch 3 attempt tomorrow

If we were betting, I would have to bet it would fail.

I'll bet he'll be happy if it makes it to space and flies a bit. Reentering successfully and landing would be a bonus for sure. Worst case would be it makes it into sub-orbital flight, but they lose control of where it will land. Target is the Indian ocean this time, so they have a little wiggle room.

It might go way off course and land in Hiram.
 
If I was at the U.S. Navy Support Facility Diego Garcia, I'd have my vehicle ready to move tomorrow. :)

Maybe if we're real lucky, it will go off course and crash into the Houthi Rebels leader's camp.
 
Fueling is underway with 500 Tons of Fuel. SpaceX coverage expected to start at 8:52 AM.

NASASpaceflight (A private Youtube channel) is showing the fueling of both StarShip and SuperHeavy.
 
Well, a lot more improvement from Flight 2.

Launch was good, Separation was good, Booster backburn was good, but as it started it's landing burn, some oscillation started which seemed to push it outside it's self destruct limits and *BOOM*

Starship orbital burn was good, payload bay door and fuel transfer tests were done, engine re-light test was skipped, ship appeared to either burn up or become unstable at 25000Km/Hr and 65Km up on reentry. Hopefully a detailed look at the last few seconds of telemetry will tell them what happened, then comes the job of fixing it.

It's passed half of the test, maybe they can just advertise it as a "one way trip."
