Starship Flight 4 in about 2 weeks.

Primary goal is getting through max reentry heating.

Worth noting that no one has ever succeeded in creating a fully reusable heat shield. Shuttle required >6 months of rework.

M20 (Trifid Nebula) is a bright, very peculiar H11 region located about 5,200 light years away in north-west Sagittarius. Discovered in 1764 by Charles Messier, this fascinating cosmic nursery comprises three types of nebulosity and an open cluster of stars. 📷 Astrodrudis #M20
