    No one on board or near the pad. Seeing a fuel tank go off with the power of a few thousand pounds of TNT every once in a while with no chance of anyone getting hurt is interesting if nothing else.

    Actually kind of scares me how successful SpaceX has been and how frustrated Elon appears any time they have to slow down. At some point that's going to be an issue.

    Did they just scrub at T-1.3 seconds? Not sure I've ever seen a scrub that late.

    Oh man...

    On a positive note, the Official LIVE feed split into three, high def views. Amazing they’d be willing to be so transparent esp considering they didn’t do this w the hops.

    View 1: Ground view closeup of the entire vehicle
    View 2: Engine bay looking down at the Raptors
    View 3: External looking down from the side of the Starship

    Thank you SpaceX!!

    The shutdown happened but the clock went on for a bit. I didn’t see any flames.

    Makes sense. You could hear him count and then, around 2 seconds, say Raptor cutoff. Kind of made me :confused: for a second.

    The SpaceX feed would've been incredible. I hope they don't reconsider...

    December 9. Click the link and you'll see a countdown to 4:00 pm

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap-BkkrRg-o

    As early as Wednesday, December 9, the SpaceX team will attempt a high-altitude suborbital flight test of Starship serial number 8 (SN8) from our site in Cameron County, Texas. The schedule is dynamic and likely to change, as is the case with all development testing. This live feed will start a few minutes prior to liftoff.

    This suborbital flight is designed to test a number of objectives, from how the vehicle’s three Raptor engines perform, and the overall aerodynamic entry capabilities of the vehicle, including its body flaps, to how the vehicle manages propellant transition. SN8 will also attempt to perform a landing flip maneuver, which would be a first for a vehicle of this size.

    With a test such as this, success is not measured by completion of specific objectives but rather how much we can learn as a whole, which will inform and improve the probability of success in the future as SpaceX rapidly advances development of Starship.
