Thanx Elon and Jared and the great SpaceX team! Thanx for being so open at Boca Chica, those of us watching over the past year have seen amazing things, incredible construction, new engineering, dozens of towering cranes and great rockets!! We are entering a new era of space exploration! Finally.

Dear news reporter..you don’t have to shout and slow down your reports..the audience has an attention span longer than a few mins,

[I---I]

I am impressed by how Mr Isaacman chooses to conduct himself publicly and the projects he chooses to work on. A really good example for others.

I wonder how long into the future it is before Starship descendants are sold directly like private jets and yachts. I guess for now it's the NetJets model but maybe 2040-2050? Anyone else got a wild guess?

[zulfakaraspar]

Good! It is short, simple and direct to the point based on the title.

[vonSmash]

Does any one know where I can find the full press release? :)

I’ve only found this video and a news article which are both just summaries and heavily edited and lack most of the info about the mission.

Thanks to NASA Spaceflight for the camera footage! Everyone should go check out Nasa Spaceflight Youtube channel and website to follow all things space, including plenty of Starship and SpaceX coverage.

Hopefully this will get more publicity and pressure the FAA to approve Starship.

Dear boomer TV, you don't have to shout at your audience, its cool, we can hear you.

[danielwhyatt]

This is going to be sooo awesome to witness. We’ve already had so many amazing milestone from SpaceX recently and this’s going to be another brilliant one to see for sure. It’s going to feel like the first images of the first manned space walk all over again for a new generation.

At the end he says "a ways down the road."
Maybe 4-7 years away, not too far

[hikesystem]

I think the only thing that could ruin space is having billionaires command and crew the missions. Gross

Cosmic source of free energy or internet 🤏⚖

[nadiayau]

How do we create a fairer earth too x let’s fix it x rather than just clearing off into space haha

[ironmenlandscaping]

I think another billionaire just got addicted to space

[truckingwithmother]

Go BILLIONAIRES GO GO GO The Future Says Thank

[shirolee]

I know this sounds weird... But wouldn't it make more sense for to donate the money use for the launch instead of using it to promote the fundraiser? I would think that the launch costed more than the money raised?

[nictanghe]

if ur news is uplifting ur looking at the wrong news.
