SpaceX unveiling staggering long-term ambitions this week, we then had Artemis III surprises, and the record IPO baiting every side of social media. What do you think about the massive numbers needed for SpaceX's plans?
🔥 Lots to catch up on here! 😍

Chatting with Hilt, the "Going back to the frick'in moon!" kid. Lots of fun talking points including KSP. If you've never played KSP, do yourself a favor.
Thanks for the chat @bolingbrief! 😍

Mystery indeed. How HLS can a Standard Starship be?
I'd like to hope at this point that they are just stripping the flaps, heat shield and headers out and shoving a docking port on top.
UPDATE 5.0: Artemis III (unofficial) infographic work-in-progress. The mystery is what the V3 will look like and where the docking port will be positioned.

Feels more like a MK-1.5 rather than a MK2 prototype. What do you think of the Blue Moon test vehicle proposed for Artemis III?

Booster roll back from Massy's. I have never ambushed it from this spot before but I may again.

Probably makes the most sense for Artemis III based on what we know about it. Essentially a disposable stripped down Starship V3 without header tanks and the docking port in the nose for testing.
OK, so excluding the exact position of the docking port on the side, I think I have covered every scenario for Starship on Artemis III, and one of them is correct.

Will they just shove a docking port on the side of a standard V3 Starship to test with in Artemis III? That makes it very different than the HLS Starship with the docking port in the nose. So so many questions.
Thanks @InfographicTony!

I'm hoping someone can make this make sense to me. I just fail to understand what the point of SpaceX's side of the mission is even for. Just a docking demo it seems, but that means no NASA astronaut gets inside Starship HLS in micro gravity at all until Artemis IV? That can't be right. Will SpaceX do their own crew testing using Dragon before Artemis IV then? What are your thoughts?

I'm confused by this. If Orion is not testing with a HLS vehicle designed for landing on the moon, why is this worth the SLS launch? Perhaps just proximity/docking testing is enough, but I would have thought NASA would have a lot more requirements for this mission.

For Artemis III Starship will be a regular Starship V3 with a docking adapter added, rather than the lunar HLS design.

Very much looking forward to the first V3 Super Heavy catch. Hopefully flight 14 with be the next opportunity to see this. Neat animation! 😍

You'll Thank Me Later transport ship, containing a Starship booster transport stand as well as a Ship transport stand for transporting the booster & Starship from the Gigabay at HangarX to the pad for stacking, arrived at Cape Canaveral yesterday morning. The trip from Texas took 7 days on this new transport ship. It now sits on the dock beside the VAB for unloading. Check the following post for pics of the stands. 1/2

Pretty wild that SpaceX has the next Starship hardware out being tested already when we we are only 2 weeks out from the last epic flight. 🤯
🚀 As always a lot to catch up on today! 🔥

A little bit of a jellyfish effect from a beautiful launch this morning of SpaceX's Starlink 10-43 mission. Booster 1090, on its 12 launch, carried 29 satellites into orbit lifting off at 6:26am EDT this morning.
