Remotes photogs: our cameras appear unscathed!

Amazing what a difference not destroying the pad makes!

The pad at Starbase appears to be in good condition following this morning’s Starship launch! The road to the beach is open.

Edit to add:

Booster Pre-Stack Integration Team! So proud of my Team. Booster AFT, Common and Forward Assemblies are very complex. These folks have the technical and welding skill sets that make CAD real. Amazing work today Booster and Ship!

Words cannot describe how I feel right now, I am having a sensory overload. Let alone the emotions I have for my teammates, I’m very grateful and proud to work with such amazing human beings. who are dedicated to building a future worth looking forward to and I genuinely can’t believe I get to help. Starship will dramatically lower the cost to orbit and will one day open space to all. This is only just the beginning, I envision a humanity spread across the stars. With a common heritage, that no matter what other beings may exist.  All the humans, in the entire universe come from Earth.

Thanks to NOAA's Kenneth Howard for pointing me to this NOAA weather radar data showing a debris cloud exactly over my estimated Starship reentry point!

The best pad is an empty pad… right @KSpaceAcademy?

First remote camera photos coming in from today’s Starship launch. Speechless.

Footage from Puerto Rico likely showing a piece of Ship 25 re-entering.

Excellent view of SN25's the booster's last moments, gas ejections and destruction (probably from Florida? there was another tracker in the Keys saying they saw SN25 clearly tumbling - upon having a second look, this video is not the Starship, but there's still potential for video from Florida):

That's the Booster, not the Starship.
We are waiting for the footage from the Florida Keys.

Thirty. Three. Raptors.

Super stoked to have captured Booster 9 and her Raptor engines in their glory this morning - the was the first time all 33 were successfully ignited with continuous burn through first stage flight.

My favorite photo from this morning's launch. Captured using techniques I've never used before, it exceeded my expectations in every way. I feel this photo perfectly illustrates the beauty and power of Starship.

A close crop reveals all 33 Raptor engines firing perfectly. Bravo to the @SpaceX team!

This photo is also my first-ever fine art print of a rocket launch, you can pick one up here: cosmicbackground.io/pages/starship
