The fact that they have hit that concrete twice in a RUD from 12 km in a bellyflop is a testament to their guidance and control systems.

I wanted to use my old outfits..... but I just don't think they'll miss it as far as B1 and if they make it L1 then we will get to see the little explosive thingy work.

Elon Musk wants to rename SpaceX Starship digs to Starbase, Texas

Quote:
If Elon Musk gets his way, we may get a starbase on Earth. Starbase, Texas, that is.

On Tuesday, the SpaceX founder tweeted, "Creating the city of Starbase, Texas" in an apparent reference to renaming the home of SpaceX's development facility in Boca Chica Village along the Gulf of Mexico. He followed it up with the poetic missive "From thence to Mars, And hence the Stars."

Boca Chica Village is an unincorporated community in Cameron County already famous for launches of prototype Starships, SpaceX's next-generation spacecraft. If Musk's name change idea pans out, we may get to say, "SpaceX launches Starship from Starbase."

WX is back like previous launches. High thin clouds likely to burn off, calm winds. Haven't seen this in several days.

LETS GOOOOOO

Probably not that soon. We're still at least 35 minutes away by past experience. That 35 minutes to launch won't start until they start fueling operations (ground tank clouds will be evident).

I think it's closer to 45 minutes after ground clouds according to the NSF spreadsheet. I wouldn't be surprised if they try before noon this time.

Yeah they have the timeframe down to the minute based on venting.

The venting hasn't started yet so it's gonna be at least 45 minutes from now.

EDIT: Something like 35 minutes from now?

Maybe 12:30pm ish

Venting began around 11:48AM --> 36 minutes gives 12:24 earliest estimate. Plenty of time to grab some popcorn.

Maybe on hold per NASAspaceflight guys. No signs of actual fueling yet. Lot of vent farm activity.
