SpaceX will be glad to get Starship 40 back home on October 7 after the long journey back to the US.

Quite right Michel Van. Though what museum is another matter all together.

I doubt too but it would be a sight to see.

Was watching the launch on Sky News, Wonder what caused the issue with the engine cutoff when they were deciding whether to go for orbit insertion burn, good that it is now releasing the Starlink satellites that will be a major boost for SpaceX.

 

[BlueAbyssal]

The cheering when Huot announced that Starship was go for orbit was great. No one should doubt Starship can reach orbit with a real payload now, and SpaceX is set up for increasing performance and improving margins with future flights.

The engines out weren’t great, but they also aren’t a showstopper, Starship has demonstrated how engine-out capability (even with a conservative flight) benefits mission success.

This is also good news for the Starlink constellation, because even with this limited payload, SpaceX launched far more bandwidth with just one Starship flight than they could launch with nearly a dozen Falcon 9s.

How many starlink satellites would a Falcon Heavy carry in comparison to Starship?

since that FH use same Payload Faring of Falcon 9, it's the same amount 29 Starlink V2, but to far higher orbit...
Starship launch 26 Starlink V3 who far lager as the V2

• SpaceX's Starship rocket splashes down in the Pacific Ocean after orbiting the Earth for about three hours
• The mission was supposed to last about 10 hours, but the SpaceX team decided to end it early - we've asked them what led to this decision
• The ship deployed 26 "next generation" Starlink V3 satellites, joining the existing constellation which deliver broadband internet on Earth
• Earlier, there was drama as engineers had to decide if they would send the rocket to orbit after an engine issue - our science reporter explains the risks of sending a rocket into orbit
• SpaceX describes Starship as "the world's most powerful launch vehicle ever developed" and says it will eventually carry crew and cargo "to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond"

So what happened to make Starship splash down in the Pacific Ocean seven hours earlier than anticipated? It seems to all be rather strange.

i guess issue with Raptor failure in Starship 41 during ascent.

 

[FighterJock]

Thanks Michel Van, I suppose we will know what happened when the investigators find out the cause.

 

[Not James Stockdale]

Is there a reason for an FAA investigation with this one? It sounds like every ground interaction (launch, booster landing, ship landing) happened in accordance with planning.

They probably just wanted to get it down ASAP. Hawaii was a backup location.

not in the plan location

If you mean V3s, by volume, maybe three. Mass is irrelevant here because of how large the V3s are in physical dimensions.
