After the second “Starship” rocket got further into space than the first had I have recollections of seeing comments a third test flight could be happening soon. However, I don’t recall how long ago I saw them. In any case, I thought to check the “Universe Today” site today (which I don’t do on a schedule), and happened on an item the SpaceX rocket had launched again, and this time its upper stage had gone into orbit without blowing up right after its engines shut down. However, contact with it was lost during re-entry, which is a different bad sign from before. “Iteration” has to be brought up, along with there having been less time between the second and third tests than between the first and the second, but the whole issue with “let’s not appear too enthusiastic about SpaceX” is still much on my mind.
