Is this Starship 24's and Booster 7's final stack before the launch???

[changbeerbeer]

Star Ship’s first orbital launch is definitely an event I’ll be stopping my day to watch! 🚀🚀

[jadams]

I would not be surprised if SpaceX surprise us with more reusability testing when Starship gets orbital. I wonder how well all the sensors on the chopstick recovery system can work, with the rocket plumes and fumes. Getting a booster accurately into those chopsticks is a huge challenge. I would not be surprised if SpaceX are up to this challenge, and we could end up being even more impressed by the competence of SpaceX.

Praying for a successful mission and fingers crossed! Thanks Felix for the update.

FINALLY! This moment has been long anticipated, hoping all the data they could ever want is properly acquired in this first test.

4:29 The bottom tank is LOX, the top tank is CH4. You can easily tell that by their relative size: LOX tank has to be bigger due to OF>1.

I can’t believe we’re finally here, we have all waited years for this and it’s finally around the corner 🔥🔥

WB-57s are NASA's RB-57 which are stretch winged recon version of B-57/English Electric Canberra Bombers. A late 40s design still soldiering on 70+ years later. 😊

Man I was so excited when I first seen the hopper take its first hope and I've been waiting two years for this event, whatever happens it going to be one hell of a show!

[davidlittle]

I've been a space geek since the 60's, and I can say this is just awesome content .

[joshsickles]

I am getting really excited for the starship launch!!

[LowKey_Loki]

Thank you Felix for being my number one and FAVORITE source of news and Information for SpaceX and Starship. Been watching since day 1!

[timothygibbons]

Detail: I think it's CH4 on top and LOX on bottom....

[jubileetide]

Man I can’t wait for this to happen, seems like it’s been forever to get to this point . I’ll be pulling for Starship. Thank you for all your updates.

Love the graphics and callouts onscreen

[marcuswardle]

Wow! The WB-57 is the American version of the English Electric Canberra. This aircraft requirement was issued in 1944 and first flew in 1949! Those airframes must be getting some good use!

[Can_non]

This is so fking exciting. I'm grateful that NASA included another nation.

[chadblomquist]

As a thoroughly impatient person, I'm SO excited about the launch!!! It's been so long since the stage 2 landing tests... we're finally getting there!

I'm a big fan of this channel. Keep up the great work, WAI!

[smavtmb]

Its a little off topic, but I was day dreaming and wondered if it be possible to convert a retired starship into a house. I've seen old water towers convert into homes so why not a retired starship? I think it could be very cool. 🚀🏠👍

[louissivo]

Still amazed at how seemingly fast SpaceX works. Maybe it's partly the last minute scheduling, e.g. gonna launch next week, versus the old aerospace days when it was planned out farther. This could be a wonderful month. Wish them well.
