There's no way for SpaceX to hide a static fire from anyone, much less a launch. It's not a thing. This is not a stealth airplane. Even if unannounced nerds would fish it out.
- ryzvonusef 4y agoTrue, but without Elon's say so, there wouldn't be 8K slomo and close up drone shots etc. We wouldn't even know it was called starship, or something like that existed. Anyone on the beach could have made a video of the rocket launch itself, but we wouldn't have been able to get the destroyed launch pad pictures etc. We definitely wouldn't have had any video of the insides of the Merlin rocket factory (i am not sure that without access to the spacex video feed and launch countdown, nerds would have been able to timely setup cameras to record something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mX5H_Gaicg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mX5H_Gaicg ) We have shockingly good access to information that no one else gives, imho.
