Description: (Please see all photos and read full description before purchasing. Contact prior with any questions.) Genuine SpaceX Starship SN24 Heat Shield Tile Fragments - Custom Collector’s Display Glass (Set of 4) Includes Certificate of Authenticity! Included in this set is four Custom Display Glasses filled with actual Genuine Starship Heat Tile Fragments that were personally recovered from the historic SpaceX launch and post-flight 1 self termination. These are actual flown tile fragments included and quality contents are NOT composed primarily of filler silica dust and sand! This is the real deal! This set also comes with a custom mission logo sticker! *You will receive Glass Display(s) with random fragments similar but different than pictured. Fragments are in a custom 20ml Glass display (2.25"). These are legally recovered TPS heat tile fragments from historic flight one in TX on 4/20/23. These pieces were found washed in and recovered from a public Texas beach(s) in 2023. These are my findings that were personally and responsibly reported in waves to SpaceX’s debris reporting contact on the dates of 5/15/23, 5/18/23, and 5/22/23. Individuals who reported their tile findings from the first flights of Starship were told by SpaceX they had the option to 'keep' the pieces if they wish - hence this legal sale of my custom composed collector's set. I have been honored to give many people the opportunity of owning these precious and unique items. Enjoy a piece of history! About SpaceX's Historic Starship Flight 1... - After a scrubbed launch days before, on April 20th, 2023 SpaceX conducted one of the most historic launches in all of mankind. Towering 40 stories tall, the Starship and Super Heavy Booster lifted off the earth surpassing double the thrust of the legendary Saturn V rocket. To date, this is the most powerful man-made launch of all time. Tens of thousands flocked to south Texas to view this highly anticipated and historic flight test being conducted from Starbase on Boca Chica. With a purging hold on T-40 seconds,the world rejoiced upon continuation of countdown. SpaceX's expectations were scattered and hopes of simply clearing the pad would be considered a win. At liftoff, the 33 Raptor engines of the Super Heavy Booster produced a deafening 17 million pounds of thrust! These great forces and temperatures completely destroyed the launchpad foundation leaving a massive crater. Concrete and fondag were blasted upwards of a mile away from the site. Mass slabs of foundation the size of cars were even flung into the gulf of Mexico as seen in various footage. Nonetheless, the Starship officially had a historic liftoff. Not only did SN24 and the BN7 booster have lift off, it eventually reached MaxQ (period where the most extreme aerodynamic pressure is exerted on the ship). After Max Q, the Starship pushed through the atmosphere climbing to an altitude of 39km (24 miles). While awaiting stage separation, uncontrollable circumstances forced the team to conduct a flight termination which caused the Starship and Booster to explode roughly 29km (18 miles) over the Gulf of Mexico. Despite all, this flight test was a HUGE historic success and valuable data had been gathered to pave the wave for the future of SpaceX development. After several weeks, surviving debris (tile fragments) had officially washed ashore during a brief period. Due to the powerful explosion and fall from a very high altitude, most tile pieces were completely destroyed or broken up. While many of the fragments found washed up on south Texas beaches were quite small (1-2"), there were ultra rare cases of larger specimens which had survived. This highly developed silica composed tile fragments are fairly fragile and very light 'flaking' or dusting is normal. Pieces have also been cleaned to eliminate any aquatic bacteria. Item will be highly protected during shipping. Thanks and enjoy a piece of History!! Due to the nature of these items, the sale is final and non-refundable.
