Last night Starship prototype SN15 (they skipped forward 4 numbers after SN11) delivered a largely perfect test flight, and landing. A very soft landing too, with the six stubby legs holding up fine. There was a methane fire on the landing pad for several minutes after touchdown, but eventually the automated systems "safed" the vehicle and today it looks almost good to go again.
There was a lot of cloud cover so the video of the whole flight isn't great, but here are the launch and landing highlights:
It's a fantastic achievement. There were a lot of improvements on this prototype, preparing for the future orbital flight test. For instance you can see the black band of heatshield tiles. Only one fell off! 
A Human colony on Mars is a step closer today. As is a return to the Moon now Starship has won the NASA contract for that!

Hector - five today.

Useful. His friend has been telling him about the creative aspect. Think he will enjoy that as he enjoys minecraft. I will look into the ‘save the world’ thing as sounds perfect. Thanks for your time. ?

Subnautica is the pick of the bunch imo, well worth a play.
Dunno if Horizon Zero Dawn is still free, but thats a stunning game if you've not played it yet.

I'd second the Lego series.
Me and my lad have had a blast playing Lego Marvel this past year.
He's also loved playing Rocket League. We learned together. It's tricky to get the hand eye coordination right at first. But preserve because when you crack it it is enormous fun.

Started playing Subnautica last week. Really enjoying it. Not sure what took me so long!
