Who is going to watch? They have been building this thing forever and boast that they plan to get it right "the first time." A dig on SpaceX.

Plans are to land and reuse the first stage on a barge in the Atlantic ocean, something that SpaceX has done more than 300 times. This will be the first Blue Origin attempt.

Excitement guaranteed.

I hope it's sucessful. Competition is healthy.

By letting SpaceX do all the real work in getting the process right... it's not "getting it right 'the first time' " if you aren't the first to do it.

Looks like a normal rocket on the launch pad. Maybe when it detaches.

I'm ready for launch. They just showed some features and I think Hugo Drax already did some of this.

23 minutes now , if the ocean stays calm. I'm guessing that's the delay

The outer skin pulls back when the rocket is ready for launch.

Alright going to bed now, this thing isn’t launching tonight. Starship may launch first on Wednesday or Thursday at this rate.

Those poor stranded folks on the space station are never coming home are they?

But in the 1960s we got to the moon no problem.

It wouldve been wild to be around in 1806 when Lewis and Clark returned to St Louis.
