Lot of confusion on this thread.
Launch is currently scheduled for 9:20AM Eastern Time.
Liftoff is from Texas, not from Florida.
If all goes well, parts of the rocket will gracefully return back to the launching area and be re-used for future flights.
The seagulls that are currently circling the rocket better get the hell out of there. The explosion will be massive.

Those innocent seagulls about to get incinerated, where is PETA in all of this?
The top part of the rocket itself (Starship) will ideally splash down near Hawaii. It too should be able to be re-used on future flights.

No nothing will come back to the launch area on this go round.

Elon reports cryogenic propellant now being loaded into Starship.

Musk’s preference was to have the manned capsules land on a pad like the boosters do but NASA wouldn’t allow it.

I think they've done one landing with the fat starship booster but not nearly as graceful as this.

Thanks for the thread. I hit “abuse” asking mods to put on breaking.

The author had to say, “the world’s most powerful rocket ever” because he knew the humanoids from Rigel 6 had topped this years ago.
