Starship Hot Staging Simulation

A simple hot staging simulation showing one possible flight profile. Prior to hot staging, the Super Heavy booster shuts down 30 out of 33 raptor engines and throttles the remaining 3 to 40%. The Starship then lights it's center 3 engines at 40% throttle to minimize force and heating during hot staging. The nearly equal blowback from the starship engines temporarily causes the booster to experience a net zero acceleration while the Starship pulls ahead slowly and then throttles up and lights it's 3 vacuum raptors.

This simulation is based on OneSpeed's OFT flight data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxQTAvIVVDM
