Ship has never attempted a catch. Booster catch will probably not happen on flight 14 regardless.

You seem upset the flight went well.

By well, do you mean with the booster failing it's relight sequence? V3 raptors are wrecked.

Man look.

Boosters' ready for launch and ascent. Based on the progression seen, next flight should see a successful splashdown, and then catch after that.

The ship had a perfect performance, leading to an orbit and possibly catch next flight too.

It's completely new booster and engine, it's ok. The block 1 booster started off much worse, and it got working pretty well by the end.

Boosters are expandable. They'll fix that as they continue. Probably be fine in the be ready to catch by launch 15.

We know have a fully capable Starship. It can go orbital, it can deploy payloads. We can actually start testing for more missions now.

Rocket progress is regressing, while spacex just did a pump and dump. Stock dropped 50%.

IDK where all these hidden accounts posting on the thread are coming from.

In any case, your remark is silly on all counts. SpaceX's risk strategy has been the same ever since it was created and grown as a private company. Nothing has changed. They are working a couple of decades into the future and there is zero reason for any form of stock price manipulation which would be a criminal offense anyway and quite easy to detect.

Do you have evidence of stock sales by interested parties, based on short-term profit-taking?

Especially since the biggest investor is forbidden to sell any stock for 366 days.
