The two-hour launch window opens at 7am central time. https://www.space.com/spacex-faa-license-second-starship-launch The Starship stack, vehicle plus booster, is 397 ft tall. It's 90 ft taller than the tower. Fucking A - I love to watch the live feed as they light the candle; and burn the whole town down
November 16, 20232 yr Launch window moved to Saturday, Nov 18th. 20 minute window starting at 7am according to spacex.com.A live webcast starts 35 mins before launch on their website.

Every other rocket would be expended at that point, so a failure to return home during a second test isn't surprising. I'm interested why starship failed after what appeared to be an uneventful burn. Damage during launch?
November 18, 20232 yr Cause that’s who the aliens gave that tech to, duh! 😂 And “rapid unscheduled disassembly” is fucking awesome. 🤣

March 16, 20241 yr 3rd starship test last week. “But even with those caveats, Starship is already the most revolutionary rocket ever built. Because of a relentless focus on costs and cheap building materials, such as stainless steel, SpaceX can likely build and launch a fully expendable version of Starship for about $100 million. Most of that money is in the booster, with its 33 engines. So once Super Heavy becomes reusable, you can probably cut manufacturing costs down to about $30 million per launch. This means that, within a year or so, SpaceX will have a rocket that costs about $30 million and lifts 100 to 150 metric tons to low-Earth orbit. Bluntly, this is absurd.”
