YouTube Live Looks like they are fueling

First attempted launch today was scrubbed due to a boat being too close to the launch site, looks like a second attempt will happen today.

They are definitely working out their livestream notifications and video setup, if nothing else.

This was a test of the starship program that’s designed for putting vehicles beyond low earth orbit. The fact that they launched, controlled and landed this early into development is impressive. It shows that the Falcon telemetry and landing system isn’t a one shot pony.

Starship is going to be SpaceX's new heavy-lift rocket. Reusable and the ability to launch people and materials into space cheaply for exploration of the moon and mars. It will have the ability to launch a lot of weight into space.

What happened today one the first stage hopping about 150m and landing in a specific spot

Size comparison
