[Deleted member 17810]

We have a bunch of nerds cool people on this forum. Figured I'd make a thread about the Starship:

Launch window is 4/20 7:15 CT currently.

I think that the launch for Monday was delayed on purpose so he could launch on 4/20.

I've been considering a trip to the coast to watch, since it's only about a 5-hour drive. But since the launch vicinity is restricted, the best view is from South Padre island which has limited access. SpaceX plans on frequent launches/landings in the future, so I'll have plenty of chances.

Tim Todd made a whole how-to video just on visting Starbase.




Maybe we can caravan down there for a launch when we all have our Cybertrucks.

wow that was amazing

That launch plume was absolutely massive. The scale is is deceiving because the ship is so big and there's not much else in the frame to reference from.

Anyone want Texas Fried Gus chicken to measure it? ?
