Merch for the maiden launch of Starship! https://shop.nasaspaceflight.com/
How embarrassing for Americans to have a government department display to the world just how long they take to get out of bed. If it were a commercial organisation it would take a few hours at most or someone would get sacked. For a government, weeks, plausible, months a joke. This is looking more and more like it is deliberate. What department is monitoring the FAA? Maybe they need to get out of bed as well.
Space hippies…lol Hey NSF! Would you go with a one way one shot ride to mars if you had the opportunity?
5:10 does not seem sufficient based on the weight and aerodynamic forces on such a vehicle.
I feel like there should've been a solo booster 7 flight test
I just realized, even thought it's considered as indoor in those 'bays', those crazy mosquitos are definitely free to stay.
eat another pound of bacon
Is this the rocket to be launched to probe the rings around Uranus?
When, when, when,😭?
Thank you for the humor. That is very important in this sad world.
there may be explosion…
Final final final stack. Aaaaand it destacked
Great update thanks NSF team.
guys i’m so excited
To all of the Musk fans, I say have a GREAT with this future debris field called Starship. Our company is going to make an absolute fortune with the clean-up. THE AMERICAN WAY. lol. Spacex is great. Elon is an ass. Fire him and let's get on with our lives. Better yet, strap him to the nosecone. We won't charge extra for the clean-up. Elon should stick with Falcon 9….the small stuff.
Ohh who cares when Elon musk will launch his rocket. I’m sure he has his reason why the delay. He’s not the one to be pressured by anyone. That’s why he’s soo successful. Go Elon musk. Forget the impatient idiots
Keep doing you Elon
I love all this cannot wait it must be costing a fortune. Hope all goes well. .
Oh man…. those stabilizer pads… why worry about them? Unless….. you think they might try for a catch???
Can i call you space imam?
I think the explanation is “waiting for FAA approval” …WAITING FOR FAA APPROVAL…WAITING FOR FAA APPROVAL 🙂
If this comment reaches 3 likes its gonna blow up. 🤔
Oceanside,CA- you are on my bike path 🙂
I thought the hold down pin shown at 5 mins looked familiar then I realised they are not dissimilar to the type of mechanism used to hold down shipping containers on railway wagons, the automatic type not the manual twist lock type.
Mouthy child billionaires find their paperwork sits in the inbox unexplainably. Comes around, goes around.
Elon wants someone to buy the FSD module for the rocket before it goes up.
Every launch comes with a mandatory scrub.
Keep feeding your delusion.Nobody ever gone to space.Ever.The thing you're so anxiously waiting for is animations which you believe to be real😂😂😂
it will be on or around 4/20….LUL
Translation: "Elon Musk ist die grösste Heissluftpumpe zwischen Erde und Mars!" > Elon Musk is the largest hot air pump between Earth and Mars!""
where is nick? 😶
Can anybody direct me to a. high definition. picture of the EARTH alone… from the Artemis one mission to the moon? all I can find is a black and white photo of earth…….I was hoping to show evidence the earth is a globe 🌎 😁
I feel like my childhood daydreams are happening in real life. Humans are going to mars… in my lifetime. It’s insane!!!!
Never would of thought that was Jack. Looks totally different
If you could just speak a little faster. Then i could really struggle to take in what you're saying 👍 😂
I bet on May 4th… Star Wars day.
They've been saying an orbital launch is imminent for literal years. My guess is we MIGHT see it happen by the end of this year, but probably next year at this point.
is that Griffin observatory in the background?
The federal government is screwing with him. A man who’s really trying to do something for the world, the government does this ho * bull💩.
Great updates thanks! This is getting exciting! 😀

How did I not know Jack had a sick beard?! Nice beard, from one beard owner to another! 😀 lol
Look Elon does everything with the numbers; 42: The answer to life the universe and everything (from hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy), 420: Because it is the time for getting high and 69, because he's a guy :-).
This Rocket will Launch on 420!
It's no accident he wants to add 3 more raptors to starship that would make it exactly 42 Raptors on starship.
