I wonder who's backyard it will end up in this time. Last time the debris landed on the Turks and Caicos Island where my cousin went on vacation.

Turks and Caicos officials say SpaceX debris littered islands but no injuries reported

How ironic....

Turks and Caicos travel advisory issued for Americans

The U.S. government has issued a travel advisory for the Turks and Caicos Islands due to crime in the region.

Nightly news just said they don't know where it is.

I'll bet the Air Force would have a track on it, they track all space debris. I'm sure they'll figure out where it landed.

I'm sure the Caribbean Islands are getting tired of debris being rained down on them over and over.

I saw a post that said if the Starship had stayed together for another 30 seconds, they would have shut down the engines anyway and could have completed the mission.
Close, but not close enough.

Spaceflightnow is reporting that Flight 9 will launch NET 29-May. Booster is being reused, from flight 7 I believe. Booster will land in Gulf and not return to starbase to be 'caught'. Hopefully Starship will complete it's mission this time and land in the Indian Ocean.

SpaceflightNow is now showing launch of Starship flight 9 NET 27-May with a 6:30 CST launch time. Booster is reusing 29 of its 33 engines.
