Did NASA ever actually say that about Starship?

Shuttle had abort modes that mostly involve landing "normally". After jettisoning the SRBs, depending on how far it got and the target inclination, it could return to launch site, land in Europe or Africa, do one orbit then land back in the US, or abort to a lower than intended orbit, which actually happened once after an engine failure.

Starship can also do a pad abort, where the whole ship / upper stage separates from the 1st stage.

I couldn't dream up a more fitting ending for the Bears

Yeah, alternate title: "Feedback Loop Works".

Can tiny SpaceX rock Boeing?

They could literally buy part of Boeing's space division if they saw any value in it. How the turntables.

And soon(ish) the new Bolt, EX30, EV3, and R3.

Idk, Millennium, a Boeing subsidiary that makes satellites, just got a pretty good contract.

The suborbital one? At least this one sort of goes to orbit.

The Bucks blue is always weird (their yellow was even worse imo), but I think the antlers on the court look a lot better than whatever shadows and text and clipart are on the rest of them.

The gray looks weird, but I think I'd rather have all gray than some of the crazy bright ones

It might have been hit by something. Or it could have had a failure and blown itself up. The history of these buses and some previous observations on this satellite, plus Boeing being involved, makes me inclined to think it blew itself up.
