A far cry from the 150-meter hops of SN5 and SN6, observers were somewhat spoilt by the achievements of Starship SN8, which completed numerous firsts during its 12.5 km high launch. SN9 mirrored most of the tasks before suffering an engine issue during the pre-landing flip.
Those tasks will continue to be refined as SN10 rose into the South Texas skyline, initially under the power of her three Raptor engines. During ascent, one engine shut down, followed by a second, before the final remaining engine reoriented the ship for its belly-flop descent before it too shut down.
For SN8 and SN9, both vehicles showed good aerosurface controllability during the belly-flop back to the landing site. This was a major objective for Starship. This was once again the case for SN10.

MOVES to stop coronavirus from spreading among homeless rough sleepers has led to a huge effort to bring people in off the streets over the last year. The efforts as part of a national Government-backed initiative called Everyone In has housed approximately 30,000 people across the UK. But it fell to local hands to sort out how this scheme would play out. Now, one of the people leading Oxford’s effort to help the homeless avoid Covid has spoken about the challenges of the task throughout 2020. Paul Wilding, Oxford City Council’s Rough Sleeping and Single Homelessness Manager, said Everyone In has had a huge impact on preventing homelessness in the city, and may have led to the ‘hidden’ homeless seeking help.

“How far we have to go,” he said Friday in a wrap-up video call.
That’s why Dorrell hasn’t taken much time off since the 55-23 loss to Texas closed the chapter on his first season in Boulder. He’s evaluating everything, from coaches (the team recently let go of their defensive coordinator) to schemes to players as they build off a 4-2 campaign.
“It was a good measuring stick of where we are as a program, and we’re not close to where we need to be,” said Dorrell, who w as named the Pac-12 coach of the year. “I’m going to make sure our staff does a really good job of, with a fine-tooth comb, going through everything we’ve done to scrutinize the good, the bad and the ugly.
As many as 1000 vehicles cross over each day during January. In an evidence session, business leaders told how problems emerged on the very first ferry arriving in Belfast on January 1 as Brexit took hold - with UK firms unaware of how to comply with new rules. Six of 15 loaded lorries on that vessel were delayed due to incomplete paperwork. There had been no pre-notification about the contents and, on checking the manifest, officials in Belfast found it said only food . Delays of up to 12 hours have held back transit. Customs declarations and, in some cases, additional certification is now required for all goods moving to Northern Ireland from elsewhere in the UK under the terms agreed between London and Brussels.
