Topic: Interesting stuff about SpaceX Starship (hate the name)

They have done static fires on the booster and 2nd stage which should mean that it will happen within about 2 weeks.

Blue Origin is claiming they will launch again as early as December 28th to 31th.  I don't believe them.  More likely in my opinion February or later.

Not surprisingly that Vulcan launch didn't happen in September and now says October but the Vulcan launch list has none till December still.  No explanation, just an anomaly.  Not really expecting any this year. 

I've figured out that Vulcan anomaly. 

You can choose to list either a specific rocket or all launches by a company.

When I list - Vulcan - it only lists the baseline variant not any of the sub types with extra solid rocket boosters. 

So the Amazon Leo (LV-01) launch on a Vulcan VC6L doesn't show up on the Vulcan list.  It launches:

Fri • Nov 13th, 2026 12:54 PM - 1:24 PM EST

I'd never have designed the list that way unless it included the variants on the list.
