Are we expecting an official SpaceX stream tonight, or will they only show the video after the fact?

It's already 20:55 here on central European time, so I'm thinking of just putting on a stream, and hoping it will wake me if something interesting happens. but so far nothing on the SpaceX channel.
I'm watching a LabPadre stream at the moment, but I'm afraid it will not wake me before the actual burn, and that would be a bit late 😛

What are you guys watching?

Quote

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) of Hawthorne, California

SpaceX will partner with Langley to capture imagery and thermal measurements of its Starship vehicle during orbital re-entry over the Pacific Ocean. With the data, the company plans to advance a reusable thermal protection system, which protects the vehicle from aerodynamic heating, for missions returning from low-Earth orbit, the Moon, and Mars.

From what I've read, this was a single raptor firing via the header tank, not all three.

 

Not found anything on the debris being ejected as to whether that was a bad thing or not, speculation is it's just some concrete from the pad.

was that a drone flying above starship or a UFO?  lol

I'd assume a drone, doing an inspection whilst they de-tank etc and make the pad safe for personnel to come in and check it out properly.

      Exciting! It’s amazing how hearing Japanese can naturally enhance the perceived quality of any experience or product.

      Your other comment in another article says otherwise, namely "Microsoft veteran wants to replace every single line of C/C++ code with Rust and AI".

      Sued and... exonerated. Oh, they learned a lesson alright. They learned that anyone who uses the word "antiturst" in conjunction with "Microsoft" is an idiot, even if that person is Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. That judge ruined the image of the US justice system. Microsoft Edge has a 5.14% market share. Also, Windows is no longer the #1 OS. None of this constitutes a monopoly. Google Chrome, however, has 70.25% share. Also, Google's Android is the #1 OS. Now that's closer to a monopoly.
