Starship IFT-5 Flight Test or Elon Trolling a Bitcoin pitch??

Going live, Will this one actually complete it's mission today?

SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, is consistently pushing the boundaries of space technology. Starship is conceived as a fully reusable spacecraft capable of delivering people and cargo to Mars.

ETA a second feed for those who are not into being pitched for Bitcoins...



ETA: SpaceX YouTube channel Keeps going live over this "Special Event" and all it seems to be is a Bitcoin pitch. Sorry

Seems to be some delays, Enough of the Bitcoin pitch Elon, Launch already

Thank you so much for the heads up on this.

I hope the whole thing goes flawless, Elon could use a good win.

Is the launch about this situation?

Stranded Astronauts On ISS Still 'Confident' In Issue-Plagued Boeing Starliner

I've been questioning it myself. Nothing else has it
Could be a Elon Hoax by SpaceX to push Bitcoins lol, which would suck if true

Wouldn't be the first time someone duped the populous

That video you linked is for Boca, I think Starship is going to be launch in Brownsville?

Where is SpaceX launching Starship? People spend time on the beach near the Starship Flight 3 Rocket a day before its scheduled launch at the Starbase facility near Boca Chica beach on March 13, 2024 in Brownsville, Texas. SpaceX is preparing to launch its first Starship test of 2024

Not sure, and yes I jumped the gun. But i'm still not finding a starship launch. I do see a falcon 9 for tonight 10:35est.

I'm honestly starting to think Elon is trolling the interwebs for this bitcoin pitch

The booster is on the pad undergoing testing. Starship is not stacked. There is no launch today.

Looks like they are doing back to back cyro testing today
No launch for a while. Still need a static fire (or two) then stack. Once all the equipment around the pad clears out, then you can expect a launch in a week or so.

Not only was the video removed, the entire channel has been terminated for violating YouTube rules.

I thought the voices sounded AI. Certain words were mispronounced the same way by different people.

Everyone has been had with this one, even Elon.
