As per title, SpaceX's Starship is about 30mins away from carrying out a test where it will ascend to 12.5km, flip to the horizontal 'belly flop' orientation and then back to land vertically.

Grant that the potters may get great gain and grant me so to sing to them.

Proper sci-fi stuff when it flipped over and back again.

There – a place – it’s not here, it’s there………… Their – it belongs to them – it’s not my fault, it’s their fault………… They’re – contraction of they are – similar sounding words, but they’re often misused.
Learn them once and they will last you a lifetime.

Musk did say pre flight it could go wrong, but they got the data they wanted from the flight itself, I think its marvellous and we are at the edge of a new golden era of space exploration, although the cynic in me says its to do with the recent comments by Haim Eshed

Do you think Musk might be one of the aliens?

I suppose it might help explain how he seems to be ahead of the game in so many fields, yet still remains such a dislikeable arsehole

In years to come people will be talking about him in the same way we talk about the great industrial revolutionists like Stevenson, Brunnel, Telford etc etc. And scientists and inventors like Newton, Marconi, and Galileo.

Absolute visionary of the highest order .
