Launch in less than 1 hour
I’m watching on YouTube….
This has the potential to be wild.
got the spacex webcast up and the nasaspaceflight webcast up.
got my drink in my hand ready to go
Now they couldn't care less because the space launches are being done by Elon Musk and by extension, President Trump.
I remember the 60”s the networks interrupted for the mer/gemini flights.
Countdown frozen at 40 seconds while they work out some “issues”
ground side issue, they have a few minutes to work it
Clock rolling!
Counting down again!

Amazing...
Looks like a success.
The booster was not to be recovered this time, so don’t let the fake news say otherwise.
Elon does amazing stuff.
“”got my drink in my hand ready to go””
Put it down before you get on board!!
LOL not an adult beverage this time..
made it past second stage engine cutoff, but has a venting issue, so uncontrolled re entry. happens in a development program
Plus just the volume of launches. Go to https://www.spacelaunchschedule.com/ to see every launch coming up.
Well, at least they got Starship up. It seems like everything else went wrong, oh well.
The Starship upper stage carried and deployed eight Starlink simulator satellites before targeting a splashdown in the Indian Ocean, further testing the spacecraft’s orbital and reentry capabilities. .. This ninth test flight comes after two consecutive failures earlier in 2025, making today’s mission a crucial step in SpaceX’s iterative approach to rocket development. - https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/spacex-launches-starship-on-9th-test-flight-with-plans-to-crash-super-heavy/ar-AA1FB7lZ
