I've seen that the booster of Starship flight test 9 will splash down
instead of being caught. Does anyone know why?

Everybody outside of SpaceX is speculating, but one reason I've heard
is checking out landing performance with one or more engines out after down-select.

One might not want one's expensive launch facilities directly inline if
the performance is insufficient.

Bergin exposed

along with his shitty forum NSF where nothing works except the PNN and for this reason banned.


Rockets can't colonize anything as it happen since Apollo 11 in 1969


Rocket can reach Moon and Mars but are unable to mantain a manned outpost in far places

But if you discover and document this scam, now more than half a century long, they censor you

We have a prototype that, if enhanced, can reach Mars in 4 days but is being overshadowed by rocket vendors and traffickers.

A lot of the RCS is using the ullage gas from the tanks.
