SpaceX attempting another launch of Starship today (Wednesday)

NASA Spaceflight
More than 4 weeks after the flight and hard landing of SN9, SpaceX is attempting another 10km test flight with SN10. The first two launches ended in RUDs (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly) following successful hops to planned altitudes and "belly flops" maneuver. Today's difference will be the firing of all three Raptor engines during the landing flip instead of two engines.
Dec. 9th- SN8-Pressure issues in fuel tanks caused insufficient thrust on landing
Feb. 2nd - SN9- Failure of a Raptor engine to fire caused loss of control prior to stabilization from landing flip.

Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly may be the greatest phrasing for "crashed" ever. That's why they get paid the big bucks.

Have they nailed down an approx time yet? Looks close.

Seems like it will be sooner than later. Once tank farm activity starts it is usually only 30 minutes or so.

Is there like a push notification service SpaceX has? They will launch sometime between 9 am and 6 pm today. I can't just watch their stream all day, especially after 2 when you LSU Fighting Tigers Baseball Team will be kicking the shite out of Nicholls.

Subscribe to SpaceX on Youtube and click the notification bell? But either way you'd have to look at your phone often.

Recondenser starting to vent
should be about 35-40 minutes away
ETA: so go-time should be between 12:15 & 1:00... barring abort

appears like there's a hold in the countdown currently

car near the pad... pad is no longer cleared for launch
ETA: 2 vehicles now on the pad... so launch is no longer imminent

vehicles are leaving the pad... hopefully that means we'll start ramping things back up soon for a launch

I've had this thing running in my ears all day. It's time to light this fricking candle. I can watch this spectacular
[LANDING] CRASH
and then flip over to the baseball game.
