Starship IFT2 approved for launch
Space X has received FAA approval to launch its second integrated flight test of Starship.
Friday 17th November has been penciled in for launch ( Saturday Aus EDT )
Over 1000 changes / upgrades have been made since the inaugural test flight back in April this year.
It should be a hell of a show , hopefully the booster pushes Starship to a nominal sub orbital flight path.
Total thrust after Max Q should reach beyond 17million pounds ( more than twice the power of Saturn 5 )
I’ll be glued to the TV to watch the launch.
Musk has yet to predict a percentage of success. He normally says 50/50 to play it safe.
Enjoy the show if you’re interested in watching the most powerful rocket ever launched.
