I'm out of town for work right now so a bit removed but I'm seeing some positive emails suggesting a launch soon (next week)

Looks so weird without any fins or landing legs.
The road closures for April 17th, 18th, and 19th have been updated to list them as closures for **flight operations**. This is pending the release of the Starship launch licenses.

Didn't they complete the review about a year ago with some action items for SpaceX?

Yes. Initial assessment was in March '21 and the list of 75 mitigations posted June '22. I hope the IBD report is off base here...TexAgs91 said:IronRed13 said:

ispace inc is going to attempt a lunar landing with their HAKUTO-R lander on April 25 and they will live-stream from their mission control in Japan.
In the event they have to troubleshoot or make adjustments once the date gets closer, they can attempt on April 26, May 1 or May 4.

I think the broader space news community is dunking on this, saying the author got confused about the assessment that was completed last year around this time.IronRed13 said:

Welp it's after 5pm on the East Coast.
I do not know this for sure, but I *assume* that SpaceX has to receive a license by tomorrow to have a chance at launching on Monday. Not sure that government offices are going to be cranking out a launch license on a weekend.

Rumor is that SpaceX intentionally screwed up the paperwork to give them more time to prepare and less time to be sued by environmentalists before a launch Monday morning.

SpaceX rented out the water park parking lot for Monday.
The JUICE probe from the ESA is on its way to Jupiter!
Here's the TFR NOTAM that will go into effect from 7am - 10:05am CST on the 17th.
The launch checklist shows it going into effect starting at T-24hrs?

But they're pushing for 7am on the 17th. If Starship is fueled and there's an abort it will take 3 days to recycle

I love that SpaceX workers just go to Home Depot and buy the same orange extension cords I use.

I think there's legitimate concern about a lawsuit being filed on environmental grounds so I agree, I think the launch window will open at 7am Monday and they'll do everything they can to launch as early as they can in that window.
Liberals are so stupid. They would rather save a few turtle eggs than help humanity progress to become interplanetary, and thus protecting us from extinction.

Launch license comes in at 8 AM eastern on Monday, 8:01 they launch.
F the enviros.
The show Space Force had a scene like this where a launch was in limbo and every time they started launch sequence a crazy lady had to run out and try to catch all the endangered lizards from the launch site.

Couldn't the nut jobs just enter a restricted area in the danger zone/flight path to easily delay?
