Fingers crossed for tomorrow, and thank you Mary for all your work

The sound sn9 venting after the stand down was actually terrifying

[michaellloyd]

Awesome content, it’s like we are seeing real time progress, what a treat.

[gixxers]

Hopefully sometime this week. So excited 😁

[Arae_]

No matter how many times I hear it, grass vent is one of the funniest things I've ever heard

[terrybroderick]

Mary & Co. can you please leave your sub titles on a bit longer so us old folks can focus and be able to read them please.

[andromeda]

Sooo excited for SN9s launch! hopefully it makes it in one piece 👍

[boatchips]

Great coverage as always, thank you @NasaSpaceFlight team!

[jansugalski]

I am glad they vent all of the grass out of the vehicle before take-off.

[makemoneynow]

Your videos are splendid! Thank you for giving me a new perspective to contemplate!

[Dpercy]

That sound wasn't sn9 venting. It was the flock of bids engaging afterburner. 7:22

Regarding the Peculiar Thrust Dome - BN1 has a few similar holes in its 'body'. Perhaps this is BN2 or BN3's thrust dome with piping for more Raptors. I count 8 small holes and 8 large holes on the Peculiar Thrust Dome's sides, so presumably 16-to-20 of each size holes around dome sides, for 16-20 Raptors. They may be making more holes further up on future thrust domes for the remaining Raptors perhaps.

SN9, today wasn't your day. The weather doesn't look so good for tomorrow either but we hope. SN10 is getting bored of waiting too..

[masu]

Who here thinks SN9 is going to successfully land on the landing pad?

[florenciovela]

I've ordered the tri motor cybertruck fsd last April and was hoping to get the S model dual motor as well or plaid. I got lots of solar & battery system to charge them both. I also love Space X..to the moon & MARS!! been in TSLA for long time

[CollinDunker]

Keep up the good work! Excited for hop!

[professionalspaceenthusias]

Sn9 better do everything on the hop perfectly as punishment for deciding to let all of the tankwatchers down by scrubbing the flight!

[giggleherz]

Half the planet will be watching when the try the first grapple grab landing.

Interesting arrangement of thermal tiles on SN11. Hopefully they will take the lessons from Shuttle and get it right.
