[SCRUBBED DON’T WATCH!] Starship SN8's 12.5km test flight from only 5 miles [8km] away!!!

SpaceX attempted a 12.5-kilometer hop with their Starship SN8 prototype vehicle. SN8 will lift off under the power of its three Raptor engines and fly to an altitude of approximately 12.5 km (~41,000 ft). At that altitude, using its body flaps, SN8 will flip to a horizontal position and descend belly-first.

Just prior to landing, using a combination of its engines and body flaps, SN8 will flip around again to attempt a soft propulsive landing.

Thanks for updating the title with scrubbed status, that's considerate.

One good part of today’s event is that we got to see the different cameras that SpaceX has to show us the action. Two are on the Starship

Me: Don't you tell me what to do!

[ziodres]

Tim: SCRUBBED DON'T WATCH!
Me: How 'bout I do, anyway.

Took the day off work.
Eager all day
Watched for hours
On the edge of my seat... ready to jump with excitement.

Raptor doesn’t light.

Tim, been watching you for over a year now and love how invested you are. Your inaudible reaction with the scrub was SO many of ours too. Lol. Good stuff.

[SheardTV]

You say ‘don’t watch’.
Your excitement just before T-0 was fantastic and well worth another watch!

[decqukl]

Although we didn’t see the rocket launch at least we had that bird helping out with the camera controls

[daytoncostlow]

Watched all day with you from South Padre Island. I feel the pain, but such is the nature of space flight. Still had a good time. Maybe tomorrow. ☺️

Dude! I'm sorry I missed it live. You told us this could happen, but I don't think anyone was more disappointed than you, other than the guy who drove six hours to see it. Bummer. Thanks

[aubreybradford]

Props to you for giving the warning not to watch! Not many people would do that on their videos!

[JustFamilyPlaytime]

You are a class act Tim! Sorry for your troubles today, and I'll be with you for the next try, and the next, and the next ...

[TheEDFLegacy]

I would still watch it. Watching the auto-abort is pretty sweet. 😁 Though definitely better from SpaceX's perspective.

[lexwaldez]

Thanks for the heads up! I was worried I'd missed it.

[joshuawiggins]

awesome job Tim keep up the good work hopefully we are go for tomorrow

[bonty]

'Scrubbed don't watch'... Your reaction to the scrub alone is worth watching! Lol

[nousernamemeuse]

The disappointment on your face is how we are all feeling, but I am sort of happy since I wasnt able to qatch today, but will be off tomorrow.

[petemiller]

"Don't Watch" - great reverse psychology! Tim, your excitement is contagious...go SpaceX!! Cheers from Canada.

What I would give to see one of these prototypes painted up and striped like an Estes Alpha model rocket! That nose cone totally has the same shape.
