    Looking for a fantastic flight today!! Thanks for all the great footage!!
  • Thank you for answering about the three sea level engines on the upper stage. I had been wondering if they were even needed! Your answers made prefect sense.

    The problem with fully cladding the tower is that it can deflect force back towards the rocket - I suspect they will only put up what they need to protect thigns from damage
  • @SirZaphod42
    I like the use of the โ€œclassicโ€ intro
  • @jblob5764
    I could see Elon intentionally scrubbing the 17th just to fly on 4/20 and make a pun.
  • @gweising
    Space X should put an aquatic drone in the water so they can film Starship sinking into the depths. It would look super epic!
  • Too bad they won't recover it would be a great museum piece. First star ship to reach orbit.
