It Looks like SpaceX is close to launching the Largest and most Powerful Flying machine in World History.

Tentative Launch is slated for April 10

No matter what happens this will be an Event.

Hoping For a Big success.

The USA through a private Corporation will be able to move over 100 tons to LEO and much farther if they can get in orbit re fueling working.

The source I have says launching Not Earlier Than April 10. Firm date still not set. Can't wait for Starship to get on a regular launch schedule and get a bunch of the advanced 2nd generation Starlink satellites in orbit.

Yep FAA has not given approval after all...

NASA still has jets on standby.

Cannot be launched on the 10th without the FAA blessing.

Possible lawsuits as well.

The video said it goes between two places they need to get to in 15 minutes that would take an hour by car, as there's a waterway separating the two places. Plus.... it's cool.
