Eris seems to have this puffy structure on its upper stage on some photos, and it appears to not be present in others. Does anybody know what it does/when its removed?

High quality photos from S40 arrival to Christmas Island earlier today.

Looks like they towed her in by the raptor lmao, her forward flaps have taken quite the beating, and her heat shield has seen better days, but otherwise she’s in far better shape than I would have imagined she would’ve been after nearly a month in the drink.

First good image of S40 from Christmas Island after almost a month at sea. She’s looking a bit rough, but she’s still afloat!

Do we have any clearer idea of what’s happening to ML-2 now? It’s been a few months since Block 1B and 2 have been axed

Have they ripped any more parts off of it to help with prepping ML-1 for Artemis 3? I know one of the ideas was to use it as a parts bin for ML-1. Or is it mostly just sitting there unchanged? I’m pretty sure they ripped the crew arm, and a couple of umbilicals off just after the Ignition announcement, but I haven’t really heard anything since.

Small scale Block 3 Starship and Superheavy

Bonus picture of recovery Ship Go Australis trailing S40 after is successfully landed and survived splashdown on the last slide.

I'm planing on making a HLS in the same scale soon!

Starship Block 3 in 1:160 scale

I've been working on this thing on and off since flight 10 lol. I posted an older version of it ages ago if you want to see the progress. It started as a block 2 and has retroactively been modified into a block 3 as time went on. Any tips on how to improve it would be much appreciated!

Looks like Gateways HALO module wont be repurposed at all unlike the PPE.

I'm very happy with how this turned out. I'm a big fan of the early European rockets so I decided to try my hand at making one!

I built phreaddee's Black Arrow launch complex, I'm super happy with how it turned out!

I substituted out the Black Arrow they included for Foggy0utri's because I prefer the look. It turned out super nice!
