Thanks for the awesome Live stream Chris B!!! &thank you everyone at NSF!!

Seems like they would have a rail system instead of using a road to transport these rockets to the towers . Could be a lot quicker.

I missed the live stream Chris. Was working. But have to say amazing stream. Keep up the great work NSF Team. Sounds like Sawyer has a bit of a cold. Feel better soon Sawyer. Keep up the great work and thanks to Chris, Roger and Sawyer.

Are they going to fly with 2 heat shield tiles missing again? They might need more data from that area.

[johndunn]

DOD also doesn’t have to get a license from the FAA either, if they are in charge of the launch safety.

[flippert]

Who would have though a couple of years ago that rolling a big steel can down the road is something that people watch?

[spdaylight]

Is the tank farm ready to support a launch?

[HankScally]

Is there a possibility that SPX could launch flight 5 early following the plan for flight 4, then fly flight 6 in November following the new flight plan?

[MichaelCarriger]

As production on the booster and starship ramps up, where do they intend to park all of these hundreds of vehicles?? Not like a Telsa lot will do.

[stuartsulewski]

What’s up with the Construction equipment by the curve?

[davidbarnes]

When do you think SpaceX will nuke StareShip. I would think it would be one ways to reduce the requirement for refueling for a moon mission. This would have to be a ship that would never come back to earth, but would be good for the Moon or Mars.

[johndunn]

As you will notice by looking at the FAA site, Starliner has never had a license issued, because NASA is overseeing the launch safety during the starliner test launches. Once it becomes certified to carry crew, and Boeing is able to also sell starliner use to private ventures, then FAA would start issuing license. Just an example of launch license issuance clarification

I like turtles!!!!
Turtles in space!!!!

[garylcamp]

I wish SpaceX would just bite the bullet and go back to the old license permit and LAUNCH NOW. That would give them lots of repeatability data, test the heat shields, save the launch mount from possible destruction, and much more. And the 2nd tower would possibly be compete as a catch-only tower and we are set to go again immediately (in December?).

[raydemos]

it is not that easy to just fly this thing without considering the environmental impact of say a booster crash on the beach with a giant fuel spill in the water on the beach, it seems like a risky area to be doing a catch, SpaceX should have a containment area set up for a abort of the booster to crash land to contain all the spilled fuel and other containments, there are birds crabs and fish and turtles to consider their well being

I have Ludacris song Roll Out in my head in the background

[dadcooks]

Imagine being in the FAA now, what are you going to do, look back in 10 years time when they set foot on mars for the first time and say to your kids, I tried to stop that.🤔

[darelvanderhoof]

It flies down the road because idiots are driving. "Oops, we dumped it, " is not going to save the road supervisors butt.

[allanrose]

Catching a booster is far less risky than launching it in the first place because the fuel mass is a fraction of what it was. But since the FAA has no common sense and is obtuse as hell we have to go thru another shit load of red tape.
