With SpaceX going public very soon this mission is absolutely critical. The outcome could be worth trillions either way.
This isn’t one of those ha ha we failed yahoo

Flight requires wings with lift to leave the ground. This is not flight. This is thrust.

Hopefully it launches, but the current weather across Texas doesn't seem favorable. Think it was a 50% chance earlier this morning.

They've done two WDR's, one earlier this week, Industry insiders said that the most recent WDR didn't appear to go all the way through to completion. Not sure what the exact issues are or if they were just testing certain things.
I think they realize how important this test is to the US space program and want to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible.

The Raptor 3s are so sexy
Can't wait for this one. Hopefully everything goes nominally and we get a starship catch sooner than later. There's a backlog of starships so hopefully the timelines are condensed moving forward.

It's crazy how much they've evolved, and in a relatively short time span. They are sleek, and apparently, they can make them at a very fast clip now.

They also don't need the heat shielding so they are I believe one ton lighter each.
But yeah, the evolution has been crazy fast.

That team needs to do their magic on today's diesel engines
