Can't wait to watch this one.
Didn't think it was going to come round so soon. Been delayed a day and is probably going to be Saturday evening our time https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-se...unch-delay

Looks like launch will be around 1 or 2am our time if all goes to plan.
Well they solved the launchpad issues and had a successful first stage and hot stage separation. Booster then exploded rather than land. Starship proceeded to orbit then was lost so they couldn't get it to land in Hawaii as planned.
I guess they are getting better. Update: Starship exploded in orbit.

More junk floating around in space. It's a wonder the aliens can get through it all.

It needs a more appropriate name.

You may as well say a complete failure, crew carrying part lost, booster exploded.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

LOL very funny.

The whole point of this rocket is to reuse the whole thing, including the upper stage, so no junk in space!

I would call it a success, we still dont know what happened to the second stage, but it appears it lost communication with the ground and as a safety precaution when this happens, the flight termination system activates blowing it up. edit: for any critics, watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF2C7xE9Mj4 |
