While stopped and editing photos from today's activity at Cape Canaveral this happened. #SpaceX B1080-21 rolled by from Port Canaveral heading to Hanger X. What an incredible vehicle built by humans. 21 trips to space. 🇺🇲🚀🇺🇲

The first grid fin for the next generation Super Heavy booster. The redesigned grid fins are 50% larger and higher strength, moving from four fins to three for vehicle control while enabling the booster to descend at higher angles of attack.

They’ll also be used for vehicle lift and catch, made possible by a new catch point addition and a lower positioning on the booster to align with the tower catch arms. Moving lower reduces the heat they receive from Starship’s engines at hot-staging and places the fin shaft,

The damage to the actual heatshield seems worse than Flight 10. The aerocover is in tatters both at the top and along the seal. Much more burnthrough on the body. Flaps seem fine though

I've been fortunate enough to witness and film a lot of wild things in my time on this planet. Booster 15's final hover and then plunge into the gulf is easily on the short list. NSF - NASASpaceflight.com
