    SpaceX Starship Launch

    For those interested, the Starship is scheduled to launch from Boca Chica, South Texas at 0830 Central time Monday morning 17Apr23.
    There are multiple outlets to view it on YouTube, just do a search.

    Just passing it on, this is history we can watch happening live.

    Looks like they changed the launch time to a couple minutes after 8:00am

      Frozen valve seems to be the culprit for the scrubbing today. I've been waiting for some time to see this thing in action.

            Right. I've never seen a bunch so happy that their machine crashed, but they are saying that they met their main goal.

                        May be interesting about Space X. Supposed to be Musk's. I'd think the U.S. Govt would be a huge partner in the project. % of funding may be interesting... % from Musk, % from U.S. govt., % from other investors and who they are...
