Not much activity in this community, and I'm not sure if the mod is still around.

Everything appears to be “go” for launch Friday of the tallest rocket ever built.

Notice how the initial seal-level Raptors create a triangle-shaped plume. Then when the RVacs light, the triangle changes direction. What a nice demonstration of the engine geometry, I've never seen something like this on any other rocket.

It seems that Starship is going further into N1 territory with proposed hot staging. Thus, the second stage will light without the Falcon-9 style pusher piston nor ullage motors.
