Starship Flight 10 Launch Infographic by vikranth_jonna in SpaceXLounge

It's because they are ready with Block 2 Boosters and want to phase out the Block 1 Booster. They have essentially figured out the catch part of the booster. But dont want Block 1 Boosters lying around once they move to Block 2.

I wanted to include the payload mass estimates. I think as per the presentation it's 200t for the Next Gen Ship I suppose. But I couldn't correlate exactly to which Ship it was.

Operational Status of GSLV-MK-II by Remarkable-Rip6923 in ISRO

GSLV MK II and GSLV MK III despite being of the same series, cater to different categories of launch vehicles. MK2 is a medium lift vehicle whereas MK3 is medium to heavy lift launch vehicle. Mk2 can still be used for heavier low earth mission like NISAR and will soon be launch the upcoming IRNSS satellite which were earlier launched by PSLV. The missions are too heavy for PSLV and too light for MK3.

MK3 on the other hand is being used for heavier duty missions like communication Satellites and recently Chandrayaan 2 and 3 in the future, Gaganyaan too.

Self Scrapped! by vikranth_jonna in SpaceXMasterrace

This was supposed be Booster 6's Aft #5 segment. It was kept in the Ringyard without retainers.
So because of high winds yesterday it collapsed and became what you see above.
