    What do you think does it land or blow up? Clearly they will learn a ton either way.

    I think it will fly, they haven’t had much of a problem with that part. The Starship will probably make a decent approach/mock landing since it’s been done before. Super Heavy might be a different story although it is using the same basic approach to landing that Falcon 9 has perfected.

    Lol. “Pressurization issue” in the first stage, so they switch it to a WDR. No launch today, is my understanding.

    I was steaming it with the audio off when the feed went to the SpX splash screen.

    Dude, it was bad. At one point, I had the NSF dedicated stream, the NSF members only multi-view, the SpaceX mission control audio and the SpaceX dedicated stream all going at once on 2 screens.

    Yeah, too much going on so I just had the SpX feed on.

    I haven’t seen NSF in a while and am surprised by the turnover. Not the experience I remember..

    Kudos to SpX for the openness!

    On air personalities. I didn’t recognize many of them when I had them on around 6:00 am this morning.

    Hardly unexpected for a first time launch with so many new/unique systems in play but I still woke up early enough to catch the later stages of fueling and the the switch to wdr. Went snooze after that but dog insisted on being fed so transitioned to coffee prep. As with the NSF intro “We could do without any more of these”, I’d prefer a relatively dull success to an exciting rud. Or at minimum let the rud be well after meco and stage separation.
