Guessing somewhere around 3pm plus or minus ten minutes is what they just said on the NSF feed.

SUPPOSEDLY we have CAT 4 or 5 windows and sliding doors. All windows that face SpaceX are solid. Don't open.

Good question though for some of the older and "weaker" buildings

Estimated test time?
Probably later this afternoon. They've started filling LOX earlier than usual, but they're also lighting more than twice the number of engines they've lit before.


Not too far off

Methane loading has been stopped for a while. The frost line stopped moving.

That's on purpose. They want it as heavy as possible without fully loading the methane.

Yes! Watched from my balcony. Was NOT as impactful noise-wise as the explosion n the attempted landing

No car alarms went off here.

Awesome (short) show

Pretty incredible that they were successful on their 1st attempt at a static fire with 33 engines.

Brings in the possibility that they successfully launch on 1st attempt whenever that happens.

Amazing.

Did they say if it got near or at 100% thrust, other than the two engines not going?
