Praying this goes well, that’s a lot of thrust to be held to the ground, Suppose to take place between 8am and 8pm, might get narrowed down in the morning

As usual, SpaceFlight now will have a live feed going all day, it’s almost 10am right now and so although I am expecting several more hours , it’s just something you will have to check in on if you want to see it live…. SpaceX does not do the countdown thing for these but they get good indications from various venting events that occur before they light it up. https://www.youtube....g?feature=share

I say bring a lawsuit....make SpaceX find a more remote location....it has no "right" to cause damage to people or property...in fact, it makes SpaceX a danger to others.........anyone else smell lawsuit, especially if something "happens".

Elon pretty much purchased Boca Chica village at a premium… the residents that remain are fans and are excited to be there for a front row seat…. I’d love to have a house there, danger and all…. Special and exciting to watch history up close, there is a girl named Mary on Twitter that lives there and has been very valuable keeping us informed of the day to day activities at the space port, That’s who shared the above notice

for anyone who’s in to it , you can follow Mary for random updates @bocachicagal

Prayers and hubris in engineering cannot repeal the laws of probability.  Especially Murphy's Law.

For anyone interested , this is Boca Chica, 9 residents decided to stay, first photo, wide view showing the village on the left and the launch area on far right

Looking imminent

false alarm..was doing a ton of venting when I tuned in but now it stooped… no idea when

Fueling has started

[GSBass]

Ok… probably time to tune in if your going to watch, 93000 watching on SpaceFlight now

[GSBass]

Over twice the thrust of SLS

[JimMo]

That was pretty impressive.

[GSBass]

Yeah.> loved it…. Hopefully that means a full stack launch in March…. They have to go over the data, 1 engine shut down and the team shut one off before fire… so 31 today, Elon said it was enough to launch and reach orbit

That was pretty impressive.

[sickfish]

OLM survived, a good thing.

Watched it live, lots of birds down there.

[GSBass]

Cool

I like rockets.

[FloridaFocus]

I like big burns and I cannot lie,
Y’all science geeks can’t deny,
That when a rocket gets staged,
On a itty bitty base,
A crew capsule in yo face,
You get…

I’ll stop there.

Sorry, the science jokes thread has been a little light the last couple days and I’m going through withdrawals. Ignore me!
