I think it was suppose to happen super early this morning and I totally forgot about it but looks like it has not yet, might get to see it live.

So...I have this feed cast to my tv. The commentators sound like a couple of fucking morons. Gotta be someone here...
 
...and abort. Something with the Raptor engine with a bit more than 1 sec left. Hoping they can try again but probably not tonight.
 
yeah, that was disappointing. Granted, it was just a simple test, but still...aborted at 1.3 seconds...
 
Why do they call it a starship? While I doubt there is an official definition, an orbital craft hardly seems worthy of the name.
 
It was originally called BFR, I kinda liked that name better. Big Fucking Rocket. 😛

Looks like they are trying again at 4:00pm. Or at least that's when the stream will open.

 
4:45 pm CST.

build a rocket using a grain silo on a mud flat between the rio grande, the brownsville ship channel, and the gulf of mexico
 
In the air now!

It does not appear to be 100% nominal but I could be wrong, I don't think the side part is suppose to be on fire.
