Starship IFT-6 Livestream (liftoff at 4pm CT)

unfortunately they had to scrap the booster Catch, due to undisclosed factors.

I would love to see the dashboard that the team that made the decision was looking at.

I'd be interested to hear speculation by people who know about this as to what they think went wrong. Was it off course? Did the engines not relight in time? Did it not have enough fuel?

They announced a no-go while it was still boosting towards space, so it won’t be a relight issue.

I wonder whether doing a catch without the catcher (rapid scheduled crash landing) would be feasible. Data is data.

This is one of those cases where technically correct is not the best kind of correct.

Not all data is useful.

A billion rows of sensor output is data but without a timestamp it’s useless. Maybe you need more or less resolution, or additional dimensions.

If the duty cycle is stable enough, you can reconstruct the timestamps in many cases based on the data. ;-)
