SpaceX details Starship's final flight path before first-ever ship catch
XFreeze · x · 2026-11-15
XFreeze breaks down Starship's final path home before the first-ever ship catch: a last GO/no-go call before flying over land (a no-go sends it into the Pacific before Mexico), a flight path weaving around populated areas starting 25 minutes before catch, and engine plus tower checks at 4 minutes out with a Gulf divert if it fails. If every check goes green, Mechazilla will catch a Starship for the first time.
