liftoff could be just days away!
SpaceX moved the most flight-ready of its Starship rockets, Ship 24,
to a launch site in South Texas on Saturday. While a launch is not
imminent this week, it could take place as early as April 10, sources
said.
Earlier this week, the company lifted the massive "Super Heavy" first
stage of its launch system onto a launch mount at the pad. The next
step will involve lifting the Starship upper stage into place, atop
the first stage. While these vehicles have been previously stacked for testing, this should be the final time they are positioned on the
launch pad before lifting off.
In recent weeks technicians have added shielding to protect the launch
mount and tower from the extreme heating from the launch of Super
Heavy, which is powered by 33 Raptor engines. The launch vehicle will
have about double the thrust of the two most powerful rockets ever to
reach orbit, NASA's Saturn V and Space Launch System rockets.

I'd sure like to watch that in person from no more than 12 miles away.
If I lived within 4-5 hundred miles, I'd give it a try. I hope I'm still
able to see, hear, walk, and drive when they move to Canaveral. But
first, this one's got to get off the ground and back.

Thanks. That's a pretty good site, but at the end of the day going
forward, it's not like literally being there. And unlike Bud Light, it's significantly better than nothing. However comma to be truthful and
crystal clear, if I had a pizza in front of me and the only beer
available was Bud Light - or even Blue Moon - it's uniquely possible
that I'd drink it. Pizza without beer is literally unacceptable.

But for last 33 years I've eaten pizza and Mexican food unacceptably.

won't stop Boeing from building a new SLS each year at 2 billion +
only to splash down and sink to the bottom.
