    Earlier today this website said the typical Highway 4 in Boca Chica road closure was cancelled for today.. Now, who knows???

    In any case, the next closure is scheduled for 8/30 with back up dates following.

    So I signed up for the ARS Technica Rocket Report with a different email....

    Googled all sorts of combinations for yesterday’s report....

    Maybe I’m blacklisted?
    Maybe I’m missing something?

    SpaceX Launches Tomorrow

    WATCH LIVE: STARLINK MISSION & SAOCOM 1B MISSION

    SpaceX is targeting Sunday, August 30th for two launches – a Starlink mission in the morning and the SAOCOM 1B mission in the evening.


    LAUNCH #1: STARLINK MISSION

    SpaceX is targeting Sunday, August 30 at 10:12 a.m. EDT, 14:12 UTC, for launch of its twelfth Starlink mission, which will launch 60 Starlink satellites to orbit. Falcon 9 will lift off from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Falcon 9’s first stage previously supported launch of the GPS III Space Vehicle 03 mission in June 2020. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

    The Starlink satellites will deploy approximately 14 minutes after liftoff. You can watch the launch webcast here, starting about 15 minutes before liftoff. If you would like to receive updates on Starlink news and service availability in your area, please visit starlink.com.

    LAUNCH #2: SAOCOM 1B MISSION

    SpaceX is targeting Sunday, August 30 at 7:18 p.m. EDT, or 23:18 UTC, for Falcon 9’s launch of the SAOCOM 1B mission, which will carry the SAOCOM 1B spacecraft to orbit in addition to two rideshare payloads, Tyvak-0172 and PlanetiQ’s GNOMES-1. The mission will lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. This mission marks SpaceX’s first launch to a polar orbit from the East Coast, and the first polar launch from Florida in decades.

    Falcon 9’s first stage previously launched Dragon to the International Space Station for SpaceX’s 19th and 20th commercial resupply missions, and it also supported launch of SpaceX’s ninth Starlink mission. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9 on Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. SAOCOM 1B will deploy approximately 14 minutes after launch, GNOMES-1 and Tyvak-0172 will deploy approximately 61 and 62 minutes after liftoff. You can watch the launch webcast here, starting about 15 minutes before liftoff.

    Is that the video from the first hop? Or did the same part of the Raptor engine catch fire for the second time?

    That's video's from the 1st hop of S/N5, today's hop is S/N6, almost identical.
    Musk is planning to build a shit ton of Starships, this is the rocket he plans to send to Mars, as well as city to city on earth. The plan is to be able to reach any major city within an hour:

    I think S/N6 scrubbed for high winds.
    They are fueling SAOCOM 1B

    Hey folks,

    I received 2 Crew-1 patches when I only ordered one.

    C2DF243C-D1FF-430C-BA60-D70D0175AF1D.jpg


    The store said I could keep it.

    First person to claim it gets it!

    Please respond in this thread and wait for me to confirm.

    Edit: Patch is claimed.
