Day of the 12th test flight of the Starship rocket. Let's try Manifold's date question format for this one.
Even if it explodes immediately after liftoff, that still counts for this question.
Info about past tests:
Flight 7 was 2025-01-16
Flight 8 was 2025-03-06
Flight 9 was 2025-05-27
Flight 10 was 2025-08-26
Flight 11 was 2025-10-13

The last 33 engine static fire was aborted not planned to be short.

We kicked out early. All teams triage alerts. Prepare for offloads.
Today we aborted our second attempt of the B19 full count static fire. We actually had another pad abort on the diverter. We made it through engine startup and then ultimately lost some of our sensors on one of the ramp manifolds. It basically said that the manifold pressure was lower than we believe it probably was and it kicked us out at T + 1.88 seconds.
It is just tough as there are some things that are hard to test ahead of time. So the diverter you can test as much as you want but you can't obviously test for what theoretical vibe and environment when the engines are turned on.
@OlegEterevsky I agree that would be cool, but i can't find any way to add answers to this question. I imagine doing that is not currently supported for the 'Date Independent' question type.
