Dude what the hell is happening? Everyday Astronaut is still talking like it can lift off at any moment.

what? it's scrubbed.

 

[SJRB]

what? it's scrubbed.

Yeah I had them on mute on a second screen and just saw them standing outside with the countdown going down from 1 minute, put the audio back on and they were talking about how cool and awesome this was, not knowing that it was already scrubbed. So I was super confused for a moment.

Anyway, better luck next time.

Musk is saying they'll try again in the next "few days".

Musk is saying they'll try again in the next "few days".

The rocket lady was saying 48 hrs minimum to recycle the propellant, so sounds about right

 

[Ownage]

They'll launch on 4/20.

 

[EverydayBeast]

If NASA doesn’t have the strongest rocket that’s on the US government, they could have the same style rocket…

 

[Spaceman292]

Fuck it just hit the button. It was probably gonna explode anyway

 

[elcapitano]

Are they only gonna try land the Starship or are they gonna try land/catch the booster as well?

I know long term they plan to catch the booster on those tower things but what about for this test?

 

[EviLore]

 

[Spyxos]

They'll launch on 4/20.

Where did you find the date? I only see.

Learned a lot today, now offloading propellant, retrying in a few days …

Standing down from today’s flight test attempt; team is working towards next available opportunity

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Elon himself said there was a high chance of scrub. Hopefully the next attempt on 4/19 will get as far as lighting the candle.

 

[BlackTron]

Perfect for your dab rig when it ends up launching on 4/20! Musk understands synergy

 

[Spaceman292]

They'll launch on 4/20.

3... 2... 1... BLAZE IT

 

[Tams]

Lethal dildo.

 

[Irobot82]

They are live again with a T countdown. Are they trying again?

edit:

Nevermind. Damn Youtube amplifying scams. This just annoys the shit out of me.

Real one is here: https://www.youtube.com/spacex

 

[LordOfChaos]

Well, 4/20 is a good day for something to get high so better luck that day

 

[nightmare-slain]

So when the hell is it? 19th or 20th?

Edit: nvm I should learn to read.

28 hours to go.

 

[BlackTron]

Holy shit it's really gonna be 4/20? This timeline man

 

[Ownage]

Told you it'd be 4/20. They planned it this way from the beginning.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Holy shit it's really gonna be 4/20? This timeline man

I wouldn't be suprised if Musk has taken this extra time to paint Doge on the side of the rocket.

 

[BlackTron]

I wouldn't be suprised if Musk has taken this extra time to paint Doge on the side of the rocket.

Or if he just made excuses so it would end up falling on 4/20.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Or if he just made excuses so it would end up falling on 4/20.

I think if he could've launched it on Monday he would have. If he really wanted to do it on 4/20 then he could've just held off another few days and we might've still got the frozen pressure valve.

 

[Kev Kev]

They'll launch on 4/20.

 

[Wheeljack539]

I hope something happens like that.

I remember this:



And thinking it was a lost opportunity to have an "oh shit" image of Wile E Coyote on that heat shield.

It would have been fucking perfect.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I wouldn't be suprised if Musk has taken this extra time to paint Doge on the side of the rocket.

I understand how funny it would be, but that's probably a hundred pounds of paint. It's the reason they stopped painting the liquid fuel tank of the space shuttle.

Elon's idiotic enough to do it anyway. He owns billions in Doge and needs to plug it to get the noobs to bump the coin price so he can sell it off. He's also launching on 4/20 to make a marketing statement.

Bigger than the American flag? It does look a little bare. Do it up like a racecar.

 

[nightmare-slain]

looking good! Hopefully today is the day

Careful friend, your tinfoil hat seems to cut off the blood supply to your brain.
