Super Heavy & Starship are GO for 4/20 Launch

SpaceX is targeting a second launch attempt on Thursday, April 20 for the first Orbital Flight Test of their new Super Heavy rocket & Starship. The “launch window” is from 8:28 a.m. CDT - 9:30 a.m. CDT.

Powered uphill by the Super Heavy’s 33 Raptor engines—with a thrust reportedly reaching 16.7 million pounds (7.5 million kilograms)—the vehicle stands to enter the record books as the most powerful rocket ever orbited, with a liftoff impulse more than twice as great as the Saturn V and almost twice as great as NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS). And standing 394 feet (120 meters) when fully stacked, it is also the tallest

My God if that thing ows up and sitting that close to all of those methane and Oxygen tanks there is no way the explosion won't affect residential areas, I really don't know why they didn't build their facility in the desert or something much further away with plenty of room to seperate fuel storage further from launch pad
