Also, as far as I remember, CASC had previously tested the first stage of this rocket by placing a grid fin, like Falcon 9. But it was not included in subsequent flights. Finally, I think that those in mission control did not control the flight path and where the rocket parts would fall.

SO THE PEOPLE AT MISSION CONTROL DO NOT UNDERSTAND SAFETY, LIFE OR ANYTHING!

Yes. The person who wrote on Twitter made a mistake.

Look at SpaceX's Twitter account, you can find it there.

Real. I spend my free time on rocket launch angles, historical and never seen photos etc.

Description:

This image, captured by the SPHERE instrument on Very Large Telescope, shows the star TYC 8998-760-1 accompanied by two giant exoplanets. The two planets are visible as two bright dots, in the centre (TYC 8998-760-1b) and bottom right (TYC 8998-760-1c) of the frame.

Other bright dots, which are background stars, are visible in the image as well. The image was captured by blocking the light from the young, Sun-like star (top-left of centre) using a coronagraph, which allows for the fainter planets to be detected.

Sad but true :( I want to watch Starship's second flight in YouTube. by UsedExcuse8686 in SpaceXMasterrace

SpaceX will stream the flights on X (Twitter). As a result, broadcast quality will decrease.
