SpaceX Starship has FAA Launch License Granted: Finally Time to Fly!

It’s getting just a little hard to contain the excitement because look at this. Signs everywhere that it is finally happening. That to be clear includes the fact that SpaceX Starship has FAA Launch License Granted and the installation of the Flight Termination System. Oh my… it is really happening! Transporter 7 just took flight as we were rendering this video out (didn't even have time to capture the payload deployments). And then a launch I’ve been waiting to see for a long time. A highlight of the year for sure with the European Space Agencies’ Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer. This has been an epic week!

Things went from feeling like nothing was happening to everything happening all at once. I’m so excited!!!

As a kid growing up and watching science missions being launched and being really impatient to wait years for the results, I'm now at the time of life where I'm seeing missions launched and there's a high probability that I won't be around to see the results any more :( The Juice mission timeline really hit hard.

So grateful to SpaceX for giving me the hope of seeing some interesting manned spaceflight before I peg it.

The "drip" sound effect in the animation as the Starship splashed down cracked me up . A perfect interruption of the nail biting anticipation of seeing this thing finally getting off the ground. Thanks Marcus. Happy Launch Day.

Genius “ploop” sound accompanying the starship splashdown animation

[HollaceBain]

Just want to say congratulations to the production team and Marcus on your consistently spectacular reporting/coverage of this launch vehicle. Absolutely crazy couple of years - let's light this candle!

That plop as it hit the water had me rolling 🤣

[michaelginever]

Love the "ploop" sound as the starship belly flops into the Pacific Ocean.

At long last we’re almost there! Can’t wait, will be stopping my day to watch the first Star Ship orbital flight! Great show Marcus! ❤🚀

[TheosEpicVideos]

I’m always blown away that people have no idea that this Starship development is happening.
This is one of those things that happens in history that you’d kick yourself if you missed.

[dougwaterman]

It baffles me how you don’t have a million subscribers yet! Your weekly content and production is incredible. Thanks Marcus and team for your efforts.

Hey, Hey Marcus, great video as always, so informative, epic things happening, really excited about the launch date. Loved the plop at 08:50. Wow, the JUICE mission takes so long to get there, so interesting, we don't realize how vast just out solar system is.

[thegood]

Thanks again, Marcus! As always, a great synopsis in rapidly moving times. Yes, it feels like Christmas morning to us as well!

[RiverCat]

I watch a number of these space technology channels and I think yours is one of the best. As if the upcoming SpaceX test flight wasn't exciting enough, the JUICE segment was particularly interesting with great graphics and informational content. You and your team always do such a great job. Thanks for all the hard work and effort that you put into your channel. It is appreciated.

[tucker]

It's all finally happening! And Marcus delivering the awesome news starts off my morning right.

[xrayaiz]

Another great production, Marcus! You have one the best production processes for content on space launches and operational vehicles on YouTube. Your coverage is better than most news agencies, in my opinion. I hope you continue to produce content covering SpaceX and others in their attempts to push the limits of space travel and exploration. I'm very excited to see the upcoming Starship/SuperHeavy launch. It's been a long time coming and I think appetites for SpaceX development news will increase after the event. So, hopefully it will be the success many of us are envisioning.

[aspacelook]

Its really happening! Lets cross our fingers for a successful launch! 🚀

[vincentwest]

Hey Marcus, you will always be synonymous with starship for me. I'm sure with lots of other people as well. Can't wait buddy, thanks for everything you do.

[musk.e]

Looking forward to launch tomorrow, probably won't sleep, excitement definitely guaranteed! 🚀

[JakeSilvester]

Was fleshing my timeline waiting for this vid to be posted! Great vid Marcus!

[skibum]

@Marcus House, thanks for the effort you put into each of these videos. So glad that the folks are permitting others use their work (w/attrib of course). I'm finding new channels to sub to via other content creator's permitting things like drone photography (or perhaps aircraft fly-by), 3-D modeling, and animations being featured on your channel and a few others.

Can't wait for 17APR23, or sometime thereabouts. 🚀
