An important message from Elon Musk, reminding us the importance of preserving the light of consciousness by becoming a multi-planetary species as quickly as possible, in the video published on Dec 8, 2021, ““PREPARE, We All Need To Be Ready!” | Elon Musk“, below:
Radio license was approved by FCC for covering communications with and from the Starship Super Heavy during the orbital flight test. FCC has approved this application from December 20th to March 3rd. This is a clear indication that starship’s orbital launch will happen starting of next year. However, you should note that this is not a launch license. Launch license comes from the FAA and is still in progress. SpaceX successfully launched its 28th rocket of the year early Thursday morning (Dec. 9), ferrying an X-ray observatory into space for NASA. A used Falcon 9 rocket blasted off at 1 a.m. from Pad 39A here at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The mission marked the fifth flight for this particular booster. Blue Origin’s next crewed space mission will see “Good Morning America” anchor Michael Strahan fly to space with five other people. On Saturday, Dec. 11, Blue Origin’s third crewed flight on its New Shepard spacecraft will include Strahan, NASA astronaut Alan Shepard’s daughter Laura Shepard Churchley, and four paying passengers: Dylan Taylor, Evan Dick and parent-child pair Lane and Cameron Bess. The NS-19 mission’s launch time for New Shepard is set for 8:45 a.m. local time from the company’s Launch Site One near Van Horn, Texas, in the video published on Dec 9, 2021, “Official! SpaceX Received NEW APPROVAL for Starship Orbital Launch, When Is Orbital Launch, Where?“, below:

With the first Starship orbital flight attempt scheduled for early next year, we’re now starting to look forward to one of the wildest parts of the Starship program to date: catching the Super Heavy booster instead of using landing legs. Very little is known about the exact catch sequence, so I decided to animate how I think it may look. The actual first catch attempt will likely be on the second or third launch attempt, so the booster is shown as the upgraded 33-engine version, in the video published on Nov 30, 2021, “SpaceX Starship/Superheavy Launch and Catch Animation“, below:
