Yes. A good tracker site (there are a few others):

Are they still aiming for as early as this Thursday?

Yes, so far

Would love to know the checklist of improvements and how they believe those will lead to a successful reentry through the heat and potential controlled landing.

Tim has a video on most of the changes. The biggest thing is an intent to control the roll/tumble with the revised/new thrusters so re-entry is better controlled. Some other stuff like tossing the separation ring, tiles being mounted better etc.

I can't wait to see these things land. Still haven't gotten a chance

Edit: and I mean ANY landing. propulsively or ballistic. how insane must that booster going into the Gulf at a few hundred m/s must have been

Barring any last-minute changes from SpaceX that the FAA would have to approve, the license should be ready for Starship's fourth launch attempt on Thursday, I'm told.

Nice. Two towers, testing off-site, tons of new office, parking, and building space... Starting to really come together

No road closure over there - no overpressure notices.

Pretty impressive updates on China's Chang'e-6 mission.

Big bunch of Chang'e-6 updates: At 2338 UTC June 3 the ascender launched from atop the Chang'e-6 lander, carrying the samples into orbit. Here's the action seen from the lander: pic.twitter.com/IcNUAqcFxS

IFT-4 license granted!

With several days to go!

Importantly, the license has a few different end-of-mission scenarios, which might preclude SpaceX from needing to file a mishap report if this one burns in again.

Elon must really want to get off this rock.

Remember when Boeing was going to beat SpaceX to the ISS and be the American company to fly American astronauts in an American rocket?

Goodness it's gone from funny to just sad.

Think they'll finally make it today?

I actually hope this one does go up safely. The jokes are just tired/worn out at this point.

Not going to make it to launch of Starliner, just before midnight here in Sydney, hoping for a safe and successful launch!

I don't remember when bowling was but I vaguely recall when cricket was going to beat them!

I do, too. Let Boeing get this one complete and then cancel the program and move on to someone more reliable. At this point, I'd rather give the next contract to a new startup than Boeing.

My comment above wasn't meant to be a continued dig. I do hope they can finally get this thing to ISS safely. Especially since the last several scrubs weren't the fault of the capsule. Boeing and ULA need to finally notch a win column and the US does need a 2nd option for sending cargo and astronauts to space.

28 minutes

Boeing screws this up and they're toast

There are people hoping it will never launch, or even blow up. Sadly, most are on the political right as Boeing is the "current thing" for the right to hate on. This way they can get their daily dose of Boeing hate, scream "muh DEI!" and hope it means SpaceX will be the only launch provider in the US.

Fox News of course is salivating at the thought of being able to run multiple, daily anti-Boeing articles and probably already have them written up, just in case.

And yes, there was one person here I was thinking about, but he caught a perma a couple of weeks ago. He openly said he wanted to see Boeing planes crash so the company would go out of business. No doubt he is hoping it blows up.

15 min

8 minutes...prayers for a safe launch and trip to ISS

we are go!

Then don't give the crazies the time of day. Nobody sane wishes for anything except safe operations.

Spacecraft pilots saying nice things and kinda badass tbh

Starliner LAUNCH!

Nice job so far! Still so nervous

You guys must be way ahead of the feed I'm watching.
