Ah, I thought they would at least set cruise control at a speed that was closing the gap.
Oh well.

It's tough to predict when a test flight will happen since they're constantly testing and iterating, but hopefully by the end of the year. |

To clarify, they're hoping to "hop" Starship (the second stage) soon. Super Heavy SN01 is being built, but there hasn't been any timeline given for flying that one.

I was in kindergarten when Apollo 8 launched and everybody was glued to the TV in the classroom. It was the First manned launch of the Saturn V and first trip to the moon. Incredible what Von Braun did with the fuel pumps for those first stage engines. 3,000 gallons a second if I remember right and the whole thing was 7 million pounds fully loaded. 1960’s technology and still the most powerful machine ever built by man. |

They're doing a live event from Dragon here in a few minutes. (EDIT: Starts about 4:20 into the video. Elon would be proud.)

I just watched the recording of the welcome ceremony, and wow, that's awesome. It never gets old. When the Japanese were talking it really showed, again, the good things that happen when people work together.

My wife gets to brag about talking to Von Braun in her apartment kitchen. His daughter was in college with her. Sorry a little off subject
