Elon Musk Declared Catching Starship in Flight 14 after Successful Flight 13 Stunned the Industry!
Flight 13 has ended.
And it was a big success, which honestly feels like finding out your favorite takeout place actually remembered all the extra sauce you asked for.
So you're ready to move on to the next station, Flight 14, which may be different from all the previous ones, called reaching orbit and catching the Ship.
Wow! That is a massive breakthrough, making the rest of us feel wildly unproductive while eating cereal in our sweatpants.
And SpaceX has sped up its preparations, bringing this flight very close to reality.
So why will Starship make insane tasks in the next flight? When will it launch? How has SpaceX prepared for it?
Let's find out on today's episode of Great SpaceX.
Elon Musk Declared Catching Starship in Flight 14 after Successful Flight 13 Stunned the Industry!
Perhaps you're still excited about Flight 13, a flight that truly showcased the significant challenges faced by the SpaceX team both before, during, and after the flight.
So it's safe to say we can expect even bigger progress on Flight 14, assuming nothing explodes in a wildly unexpected direction.
Right after Flight 13, Elon Musk announced an incredible plan: “Unless we discover problems after mission data review, SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower on next flight”.
Wow, Elon Musk is raising the possibility of capturing the ship using Mechazilla Arms right on the next flight, Flight 14.
Of course, as Elon said, it also depends on whether any problems are detected in the mission data review.
Besides watching the live stream, they can recover the S40, since this ship was relatively intact after landing.
The data on it will be key, kind of like checking your phone's black box after dropping it down three flights of stairs.
If S40 says Yes, SpaceX will catch the next Ship.
This actually aligns with his previous statement, where he said that catching the Ship would only happen if the Ship had two successful landings in the ocean.

And they did that very well on Flight 12 and Flight 13, despite some annoying issues with the heat shield.
This could be considered the final step towards fast and full reusability, the ultimate goal SpaceX aimed for when designing Starship.
This capability opens up unprecedented cost optimization in the industry, along with an insane increase in launch rate that will make everyone else look like they are moving in slow motion.
Of course, to achieve Ship catching, SpaceX needs to prepare many things.
Firstly, preparation of the vehicle.
The catching point of Ship 41 must be reinforced to ensure it is durable enough and fits the catching rails of the Chopsticks.
In fact, they work together in the lifting operations, but the catch will be on a completely different level, as the Ship will be moving back from space, carrying a velocity that can lead to errors.
Similarly, the catching rail needs to be adjusted for precise contact with the Ship catching point, then stabilizing the Ship.
The opening, closing, raising, and lowering capabilities of the chopsticks also need to be constantly checked.
Are you looking forward to this effort on Flight 14?
Respond “Catch now” in the comment section.
Moreover, I have a question for you.
