From Eric Berger of Ars Technica on Zombie Twitter:

****

Some notes from the post-docking news conference on Starliner: Engineers found a fourth helium leak after capture. The thruster issues were similar to those observed on OFT-2, and are still not fully understood.

From #CNN:

"During the final hour of their approach to the space station, Starliner’s crew began to manually pilot the spacecraft in a planned test of Starliner’s manual flight control capability. Five of the reaction control system thrusters failed on the service module, but the duo was able to get four of the thrusters firing again after conducting hot-fire tests."

#Space #SpaceX #Starship Here's a still frame of Starship's flap on fire and disintegrating on entry. Neverthless, Starship persisted and managed a soft landing in the Indian Ocean.

The second frame shows the SpaceX commentators celebrating, in typical SpaceX twisted humor fashion.

We could use the rain, as well as the diversion.

#Space #SpaceX #Starship Holy frak! Even with a half-gone flap, Starship successfully achieved a soft landing in the ocean. History, boys and girls!
