02:08Dan, you just spoke that view into existence there.
02:10And again, all brought to us by Starlink.
02:16All to us back to maneuver has started.
02:17All right, there we go.
02:21So we're now starting into our really heavy bank maneuver.
02:25And this kind of, this does almost like a half circle loop to our actual trajectory.
02:33We're heading to the same exact splashdown point, but we're kind of doing a more roundabout way to get there where it's this kind of big long half moon loop and then a really aggressive and a twist right at the very end.
02:45And that would line us up with the launch tower, Starship, on a return to launch site, would fly over the tower, do a quick landing burn flip, and then come down for catching the arms.
02:57How about that S38 decal there staying strong on that view we just had?
03:09Good to see the numbers back on.
03:13Yeah.
03:17All right, should be hitting Transonic in about two and a half minutes.
03:25Landing flip coming up in about four.
03:27Pretty clouds there in the Indian Ocean today.
03:31Again, yeah, we changed our launch times.
03:33We launch in the evening now, so we get these daytime views down in the Indian Ocean.
03:38One of the things we're really looking for, the reason we have the drone, other than, yeah, that looks really cool, is we're able to kind of see the ship.
03:47We can only see so much from these cameras.
03:48You can't see, like, the vast majority of the heat shield.
03:52So we throw these buoys out there.
03:55We've got a joke.
03:56You spoke it again, Dan.
03:58There it is.
04:00They're playing with me in the control room.
04:02All right.
04:03But we have these buoys out there.
04:06We have these drones that we're trying to see externally how the heat shield held up.
04:12Everybody saw from Flight 10 it had a little bit of a paint job, a little bit of a reddish hue.
04:18That was from those metallic tiles that we had tested, kind of oxidizing really rapidly in that plasma.
04:26And then spreading those little oxide particles all over the heat shield.
04:29No metal tiles on this flight, so not expecting to see that.
04:33Dynamic pressure is coming down.
04:35I hope nobody gets seasick.
04:43All right.
04:44Coming up on Transonic shortly.
04:50It's about two and a half minutes of landing burn.
04:57Yeah, and once we get to around the 15-kilometer altitude mark, that's where we have a lot of flight history.
05:02Starship is transonic starting the belly flop phase of flight.
05:06Yep, that belly flop phase that we perfected in the sub-overload campaigns, we're entering that now.
05:12It's starting to get those Raptors ready.
05:31Should be two minutes away from the landing burn.
05:35Again, we're going to do a flip.
05:36After we ignite those engines, we'll go from three down to two for the final phase of the landing burn
05:43and look for another soft splashdown, hopefully, by our buoy and drone, which are hanging out, ready and waiting for a ship.
05:51Seeing all three center engines have entered the chill phase.
06:21All right, less than a minute to go.
06:37Shipping is, the ship is making its turn for final approach.
06:40And here's this kind of aggressive final turn that would essentially position it so it's right behind the launch and catch tower.
07:04Flaps holding strong.
07:07Landing burn in just under 20 seconds.
07:10Ship landing startup.
07:30There's our landing burn.
07:36Three down to two.
07:38Starship has landed.
07:40As we said, we're not planning on recovering the ship today.
