There are live streams by independent YouTube channels, but their patter/chatter was getting to me.

The official SpaceX stream is the best.

Incredible to even imagine the stress that must be on Elon musk’s head right now. A 14th baby just days ago, Tesla dealerships being attacked and burned by leftist maniacs, death threats every hour, attacked across the world by the global left, in charge of the most massive cost-cutting effort in the history of this country, and facing enormous pressure for this launch to go well after the disastrous conclusion of the last one. Wow!

And didn’t he just appear on Rogan? He’s a busy boy who not only knows how to delegate, he knows to whom to delegate. SpaceX had a F9 launch from Florida, put some more Starlink sats into orbit, but had a malfunction during the landing on the droneship, and lost the booster, very rare.

A few weeks ago I saw the crew boarding a droneship after a landing, they batten down the rocket before the ship runs the booster back to the mainland. In the 1960s it took the USN. :^)

I usually stream the Falcon 9 launches after the fact, but I’m not watching most of them because they’re like clockwork. These Starship launches, well, they are still workin’ out the bugs, so there’s a good chance of some pretty kabooms. :^)

Idiots? Yeah, right.

The Starship launches are all from Boca Chica TX for the time being. Once things get running smoothly, they’ll send some of them up from KSC.

Not knowing is always part of the fun.

BTW, I’d still love to visit Earth orbit, but it would be aboard a Crew Dragon for now. :^) And, I’m not in spaceflight “game shape” just now.

Two minutes to live coverage. Launch I think will be 6:30 EST?
