To get to the 1st reliable, and rapidly reusable orbital booster landings, Elon Musk's SpaceX had to smash a lot of Falcon 9 boosters to get those landings right.

Ship 38 in Megabay 2. Ship 39 and 37 are also in Megabay 2. Ship 38 is the last V2 Starship upper stage. Ship 39 is the first V3 variant.

Like seriously, what do you think is more helpful:

Ship 37 is currently in Megabay 2, along with many other waiting Starship upper stage prototypes. It looks like it will be Ship 37 and Booster 16 for IFT-10, pending the repairs on Massey's test site.

Elon Musk hasn't said a peep about the bombing.
Looks like Iran is just doubling down attacking Israel on the rational basis that Israel pulled the trigger on the MOP bombing run, not the Orange Puppet.

Elon's SpaceX Starship:

V2-3 Starship booster. The larger holding tank for landing propellant eliminates the need for a disposable hot-staging ring. The next gen Starship booster can land entirely intact.
Along with a permanent reusable hot staging section, the next gen booster has three gridfins, instead of four gridfins present on the V1 booster.
Also, since the next gen booster will have Raptor 3s (cryogenic cooling on the outside, as well as internally), it will need much less heavy heat shielding than V1. Raptor 3 also generates much more thrust that Raptor 2, so the next gen booster and V3 upper stage will have more propellant. And a greater payload, aiming for 200+ metric tons fully reusable.

Elon's SpaceX Starship:

V1 Starship booster. Note the much smaller landing propellant tank at the bottom, and the disposable hot staging ring.
Currently, the V1 boosters can launch and land reliably. If Starship had a much simpler expendable upper stage, it could actually do Apollo-sized Moon missions every month (300+ metric tons with reusable booster and expendable upper stage).

Elon's SpaceX Starship:

B17 test tank. To test the next gen Starship booster aft tank design. The next Starship booster (V3?) has a much larger holding tank, to eliminate the need to jettison the hot staging section. The current V1 boosters must jettison the hot staging section, since their holding tank only holds enough landing propellant for a booster without the ring.

Note that V2 Starship upper stages now have tapered heat shield tiles at the windward/leeward boundary.

I've seen some normie hacks pointing out that war with Iran has less support than war with Iraq had in 2006... when the GOP began losing elections, bigly.
When I say the clock is ticking for Israel (even before this most recent unpleasantness) what do I mean?

The US gets weaker every day. Each White who retires means a tiny degradation in the quality of the labor force. Each brown turd that plops out of a nigger cunt pollutes the gene pool.

Israel needs the US to back its play against Iran. There was no guarantee that Vance was going to win in 2028, and the Democrats would be browner and less likely to nominate a complete zionist tool like Kamala. They might even get their own 'Trump' - a demagogue who would run against Gaza genocide.

So Netanyahu has rolled the dice.

Ship 37's turn is coming right up, after SpaceX cleans up Massey's test site.

Tulsi Gabbard’s heel-turn on Iranian WMDs has nothing to do with her being leveraged or extorted in the manner happening to Trump. In fact, I don’t believe any material even exists worth blackmailing her over. No, she fell in line with the kikes simply because at her core, she is a garden-variety career-climbing cunt who secretly believes she can succeed in being the first hole president where Hillary and Kamala failed.

Transporter 14 rideshare mission.

"SpaceX is targeting Sunday, June 22 for a Falcon 9 launch of the Transporter-14 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The 57-minute launch window opens at 2:18 p.m. PT. If needed, there is a backup opportunity on Monday, June 23 at the same time..."
