Has S2 been confirmed yet? This is one of the best shows ever made IMO. Please return for more! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Just want to give a shout out to the entire cast and production crew. Two episodes in I love this show. It’s like HBO’s Chernobyl but about space. Not because it’s Soviet (obviously) but the attention to detail in the set and costume design, and casting, just truly amazing.

NET May 19 Starship • Flight 12
Launch time: Window opens at 5:30 p.m. CDT (6:30 p.m. EDT / 2230 UTC)
Launch site: OLP-B, Starbase, Texas
A SpaceX Starship-Super Heavy rocket (collectively referred to as Starship) will launch from Starbase, Texas, on a suborbital flight. This will be the 12th flight of the integrated launch vehicle and the first launch of a version 3 rocket. SpaceX will launch the mission using the Ship 39 upper stage and Booster 19 first stage. As of May 4, SpaceX hasn’t said whether or not it will attempt to catch the Super Heavy booster back at the launch site. Delayed from May 15.

Questions:

1. I assume suborbital is precursor to orbital because V3, but how many more steps to orbital testing?

2. Anyone know the likely schedule / missions of future starship launches assuming this achieves objectives?

I ask because 2028 is target date for 🇺🇸🌖👣 but there’s so much to be done in such a short period. Whether it’s SpaceX Blue Origin or both I just pray all is done safely.
