Looks like propellant is being loaded!

This thing is 400 ft tall? Holy shit it’s bigger than the Saturn V

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

NASA tracking plane:

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

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

Or Mars!

Waiting pattern.

Here's the official SpaceX stream if that's your style:

Is there a live feed yet? When I go to the launch site it's just a countdown to 4:30CT.

:LOL: Never mind.

SpaceX isn't live yet. I'm currently watching Everyday Astronaut, and Donger posted a different feed above.

Kind of odd that SpaceX isn't live yet. Maybe we're still a few minutes out?

SpaceX is live!

T-3:30

Unfortunate camera/Sun placement !

Got it. Thanks.

Well damn.

Abort

Looked like a dud on the 4th of July.

I thought my internet crashed at 13 seconds lol

Well, that was disappointing. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Sounds like they might give it another go today.

NASA flight plan for today was uploaded about an hour ago. Should be on site around noon. Can use the same flight radar site posted earlier.

Departure changed to 2:30pm CST so would be on-site by around 3:30pm CST.

Not seeing an official SpaceX feed yet, watching LP's feed and listening to Tim's.

Bummer. If they go at 3:30, I may not be able to watch. :(

50 minutes, new SpaceX feed...

Yep, gonna miss it. Have fun. I'll watch the replays.

I may as well. :(


Hopefully it actually goes. The footage should be awesome!

Tri-vent, so about 12 to 15 minutes to zero

SpaceX feed is live. T-5:30

Bah!

Hold on countdouwn and then started venting.

Can't tell if they are re-loading propellant though.

DaFace and unlurking jinxed it...

Looks like it could have been a hold for propellant temp.

Possible airspace intrusion

Per SpaceX, waiting for a new T-0 time.

Tentative 3:40 launch now

New launch time: 4:40pm CST

lol
New windows is right in the middle of an interview. May take a break and make the candidate watch. :D

T-41:00

Hey, I can watch now! Thanks for the hold!

Holy ****ing shit that is cool.

SpaceX stream is back. T-11 minutes.

Any word on the reason for the hold? Exclusion violation?

This is all I've seen.

Gonna send that pilot some beer?

and Here. We. Go.

Nose vent

OH MY GOD!!!

Woot.

Dang. That's some test.

Yes! She can fly! But can she come back down...

100% chance of that...

No "smoke" from the engines?

Lost an engine...but could be intentional?

Lost an engine?

Lost 2?

They must be shutting the engines down one-by-one or something. Two failures? Steering maybe?

I don't even know what they're doing....

Hope this is planned.

LMAO

Here comes the belly flop!

Coming down!!

Don't know about the engines, but the flip definitely is.

That's not flying! That's falling with style!!

Well, that was ****ing rad. LOL

Welp, almost.

Usg.

HOLY SHIT!

IN-FREAKING-CREDIBLE!!!!!! Even though it failed, we just witnessed one the first steps in the extension of the existence of the human race.

ROFL

Well, it actually outperformed expectations! I fully expected them to have to abort it over water.

Need a code tweek I suppose.

Should hit the brakes a little earlier

Altitude is life, boys!!

So, where's SN9?

:)

My understanding is that it's actually REALLY close to ready to go. We could see it fly before the end of the year.

They cut the feed. Ugh.

the only thing it didn't do was land. It hit the landing pad on the dot. Just needed more propulsion to slow it down. I mean, when they assumed it would blow up during the flight, that was pretty impressive. SN9, you're up!
