I was betting on April 20 for meme reasons (and Musk likes the 420 reference) but next Monday works as well. I am very excited about it.

- Tuna-Fish 3y agoNew rockets rarely launch on their first launch day. There will likely be at least a few days of delays.
- elif 3y agoSpaceX previously tweeted that the launch could occur roughly a week after the Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) which still has not happened. In fact the rocket is not even stacked at the moment, so 4/20 is more probable than 4/17 imo.
- efiftythree 3y agoI believe they have stated or otherwise insinuated that the WDR from January 23rd is sufficient, and they will not be performing another prior to the initial launch. As for the de-stacking of Ship 24 that has occurred only to enable the Flight Termination System (FTS) after which Ship 24 will be restacked. This is in line with an April 17th launch date.
- elif 3y ago"Starship fully stacked at Starbase. Team is working towards a launch rehearsal next week followed by Starship’s first integrated flight test ~week later pending regulatory approval" Literally what I said is what spaceX said. https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1644044484026716160?s=20 https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1644044484026716160?s=20 I'm glad your "belief" got my factual account downvoted
- elif 3y agoHUH
- elif 3y agoHUHHHHHH
- darknavi 3y agoHe already tweeted a joke about delaying the launch three days.
