I’ve been busy irl the past weeks after Flight 10, which is why no Starbase Sunday was published since. Since I’d be behind and I don’t want to chase a pile-up of articles, Starbase Sunday articles n°13 & 14 will be skipped. This week’s article will come out on Sunday.

How come SpaceX wants 2 on-target splashdowns before catching the Ship but only 1 uncrewed HLS demo before sending people to land on the Moon? My guess is that the HLS plans will change, and by a lot
Rocket science can be extremely intimidating, but you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to be excited.
Everyday Astronaut - Bringing space down to earth for everyday people
I've been reflecting on the Starship program the last week and one thing has become obvious to me. SpaceX is enjoying the freedom to try and fail in a way they couldn't with Falcon 9.
Doing anything "experimental" on the Falcon 9 was risky because it was SpaceX's only source of…
