Starship SN9

Yesterday James and I had an adventure. We walked up to Fernbrae Meadows Park again, but this time we followed a path which took us all the way up to Cathkin Braes. I have been for lots of walks up there in the past but I have never walked all the way there from home before. It was great, we walked to the wind turbine and we had fantastic views over Glasgow. We took a few wrong turns along the many mountain bike trails before finding a path back down to the other end of Fernbrae Meadows. By the time we arrived back home via Burnside, we had walked a very respectable 13 km. 

This evening we all watched today’s SpaceX Starship SN9 Flight Test as it launched and rocketed up to its apogee of 10 km. Then it turned off its engines and started plummeting towards the earth, until its engines were supposed to relight in order to attempt to land it tail first back on its base. But only one of them came back on and it crashed and exploded (like it’s predecessor, film of which we watched about ten days ago.) So it’s still a work in progress.
