Looks like they're progressing toward an attempt. No clue on actual timing, but I might guess an hour or so?

Looks like it. I'm watching and will bump if they get to prop loading.

I can't stand the constant panhandling and stupid nicknames, but the LP 4K feed is nice. Just mute the idiots.

No, "Starship" is 160 feet in height. That's what we are watching. When combined with Super Heavy, it'll be 400 feet.

Sounds like they're aiming for 4:30ish Central.

Ah ok, super heavy is the first stage if they’re going to the moon.
