Starship transiting the Sun this morning during Flight 14 — prior to this morning's mission, this has never been captured before with the world's largest and most powerful rocket.

I’ve ached over this shot for years, mainly for two reasons: what does methane exhaust look like silhouetted against the Sun, and how violent are the acoustic energy waves from 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster?

Well...now we have an answer.

This image was a total experiment.

30-second exposure from a remote camera with a 10-stop ND filter over the lens, sound activated from about a mile away from Pad 2.

Absolutely thrilled with how it came out.

Where will Starship launch next time? Starbase or LC-39A?

Last night's testing, which was either an aborted vehicle fill or a GSE test. Some fun venting on the SQD arm I'd never seen before...

Here, you see one of the reasons for having 3 gridfins instead of 4 :

If you don't want to risk an impact of the gridfin on the SQD, the easiest way to achieve it is to not have it there at all.

Welp, this marks the first Starship flight I ever missed. Hopefully I won't miss the ship catch.

And I looked for the splashdown site, based on the information provided by Stardash.live.

Do we have any information on the splashdown video and heat shield?

More images of Starship Flight 14 will be up tomorrow. (Because, of course, they will!)

I couldn't wait to share this one early. The Helicopter vantage point and the morning Sun created a very special view!
