Even NASA allows journo's to leave cameras inside exclusion zones.

The difference is some of these guys are now getting enough monitization that they can afford to risk thousands of dollars in equipment. The NSF guys also had a camera lens shattered during the static fire.

Hope some of yall that bought DXYZ for SpaceX exposure a while back hung on to it through the doldrums the last 12 months or so. It is up about 90% over the last 10 days as the IPO approaches.

Yep, pretty sure even Elon said at one point that he used either NSF or LabPadre to keep tabs on what was going on sometimes. SpaceX has permitted this from day one...one of their more endearing qualities is going along with this kind of stuff knowing that it keeps the public engaged and (mostly) rooting for them.

In the latest SpaceX video you can actually see a NasaSpaceFlight live stream up in the control room of SpaceX on Boca Chica.

Yeah just skewed perspective

Those vehicles are known to SpaceX. If a new vehicle were to pop up unexpected you can be absolutely certain SpaceX wouldn't allow it to just sit there without investigating.

When are they launching this one? I thought it was next week. I fly to Mexico next Tuesday, hoping to get a glimpse of it.

Yucatan or elsewhere? If Yucatan, you are in luck because they altered the launch trajectory to travel between the Yucatan and Cuba instead of through the Florida Strait.

I sold it right before that to free up funds to buy SpaceX stock.

It.
Never.
Fails.
No, I don't care what CNN or Miss NOW said this time

I had a long talk with my financial advisor today about SpaceX. I'm debating how much I really want to invest from my portfolio. This seems like a really lucrative opportunity, but man still risk.

It'll be an index fund component in no time and find its way into your portfolio with essentially no action.

It really is an entire step-change in refinement of the principles for this ship.

More on those:
Quote:
Very interesting, the new version of Starship incorporates orientation engines at the base of the lower flaps.
These will serve for precision maneuvers for orbital docking.
With this, we now know what those mysterious pipes on the flaps are for.

It is on South Padre Island and will serve various users in Cameron and Hildalgo counties. Way too far to be of use to Corpus.

If it happens at all, much less efficiently...
There's ZERO Corpus Involvement

I don't know about the town of Starbase today, but I believe when Boca Chica consisted of a couple dozen Winter Texan homes the county had to truck water in to them.

edit - Here you can see the homes all had large water storage tanks.
