Starship's Twelfth Flight Test | Hacker News

HN commenters debated whether Starship Flight 12 could be nearly flawless and help validate the V3 vehicle.

They said in-space propellant transfer remains the key milestone for a lunar landing demo and later crewed Moon mission.

Some noted SpaceX is holding off on booster catch attempts for now to avoid risking scarce launch and catch infrastructure.

The discussion framed the next test campaign as a check on Starship reliability, refueling, and recovery operations.
