T-minus FOUR minutes!!
I thought it wasn’t until tomorrow
no idea what just happened
On-screen counter reads T — 31:00:00 and counting down...
1:50pm
I’m pretty sure this is a hoax! It must be a previous launch.
These links are to sites that rebroadcast the streams from the original site and get ad revenue for having viewers. If you are going to post a link, you should validate that it is the original source. It’s too easy to open a stream in a browser and stream it back to YouTube in another browser.
I go by the SpaceX site, or EverydayAstronaut (which has been a long time cheerleader for SpaceX and does on site coverage)
Everyday Astronaut already has their livestream ready for tomorrow

what happened to the feed?
It cut out just before launch.
Why?
This is on the page now:
“The current launch date is set for NET June 6, 2024.”
It was a head fake.
LETS FING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This was supposed to be June 6th the FAA must have gotten the memo early.
Blast this is YouTube scammers looking for hits...SpaceX official feed is set for 0630 tomorrow don’t feed the trolls. Dang it I got all worked up for nothing need a beer and a taco now oh wait that was always planned for 1400 today ha.
T-24 minutes
The link kicks you out, logging in does not help - as it turns out this is actually a private Flight3 video - Flight 4 is tomorrow.
I got up at 4:25 Pacific time this morning. I went and turned it on and it stated that the telecast would start at 4:40. I checked it again and now it’s saying it’ll start at 5:10. The write up ?on the SpaceX website said that the Flight time was very dynamic and could change. The telecast is set to begin 30 minutes before lift off, so now it’s looking like it’s going to be around 5:40am pacific time today.
Stay tuned.
Successful test flight, with both the booster and Starship splashing down where they were supposed to without breaking up.
Notes:
1) One Raptor engine did not light on liftoff. Superheavy provided necessary boost without it.
2) One Raptor engine did not light for landing burn. Superheavy was able to hover without it, prior to splashdown.
3) One of the forward fins on Starship burned through ~40 minutes into reentry. It did not detach. Starship guided all the way to splashdown.
4) Video feed from Starship (via Starlink satellites) during reentry suffered only very minor interruptions.
Highly successful test flight.
