Watch SpaceX Starship Test Flight 6 Live - Launch Starts 4pm CST , 2200 GMT.

Today we see if SpaxeX can make it 2 from 2 as they launch Starship for further orbital tests and again try to catch the Super Heavy booster with the tower , fingers crossed for another successful test.

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 19) for the launch of its sixth Starship flight test.

The upcoming test flight is expected to lift off on Nov. 19 during a 30-minute window that opens at 5 p.m. EST (2200 GMT). The Starship megarocket, which consists of two fully reusable elements — a huge first stage called Super Heavy and an upper-stage spacecraft known as Starship, or simply "Ship" — will launch from the company's Starbase facility near Boca Chica Beach in South Texas. You'll be able to watch the launch live on Youtube channel courtesy of a SpaceX simulcast, beginning 30 minutes before liftoff. Follow our Starship live updates for more mission milestones.

"The next Starship flight test aims to expand the envelope on ship and booster capabilities and get closer to bringing reuse of the entire system online," SpaceX officials said in a statement announcing the sixth test flight.

Another step on our journey to Mars.

Good guys and Felix does a great job at commentary.

I thought about driving down from San Antonio to watch it, but I lack the motivation. I've always wanted to see a launch.

Incredible what Elon, SpaceX and human ingenuity are accomplishing. In contrast to government programs the ineptitude is hard to ignore.

Omg, lucky you (I just googled the drive) it's only 300 miles! I'd LOVE to see this launch, and I'd definitely be motivated for that easy drive...even on British roads!!🤣

I really hope it's a perfect success, but the chance of seeing a failure "Boom!" in the sky would be equally worth that drive!

Why is your video link showing the launch 'LIVE' at 4 pm with a night sky background?
There is also the scam Musk crypto 'deal' tacked on the feed.

I think you've posted a bad link.

It's showing as this for me now:

This one has better coverage of the space banana.

Theres some wild streaky plasma colours arond parts of the starship as its descending!
Green.blue and purple streaks everywhere.

Pretty epic booster explosion on splashdown too.


Edit-WOW it held together and landed perfectly!
Well played Space X that was amazing to watch.

Another amazing successful test.

SpaceX, the most expensive banana delivery service available. One banana half way around the Earth in just over an hour.

Elvis is disappointed that they forgot the peanut butter.

Good launch. Booster splashed this time. Good zero g engine relight. Successful bellyflop.

And now the big question. Will they recover the banana before it sinks?

Well done SpaceX.

Closed right after the deep-fake Musk crypto scam ran at the end after giving enough time to fleece anyone watching.

Supposedly deep six the booster in the Gulf of Mexico do to damage to the launch tower

There is GO/NO GO decision point in the launch where evaluate telemetry from the booster to determine if engines are functioning and if the launch tower is ready for catch

a reply to: firerescue

Initially the cach was a go then they found a problem with the tower like you stated. The booster is to be considered successful then.

It will be nice when they get the second tower built.

I still wonder if it would not be better to build two launch, catch assemblies, one on the opposite sides of each tower.

It is speculated that the banana went down with the ship. No official word yet.

Glad I didn't go. The Texas launch site was fairly unknown. Noooot anymore apparently.

South Padre Island is a beautiful spot at the southern tip of Texas on the Gulf of Mexico. Still has a very small town feel. Pretty much one strip runs north/south from one end of island to the other. It's surface traffic, not freeway. Four lanes, undivided, lots of traffic lights.

Only one way in and out. The Queen Isabella bridge. It terminates on the island at a three way traffic light. One mainland side of bridge, more surface streets and traffic lights.

Well, after the launch, it was taking 6-8 HOURS to get off the 2.69 sq mi (6.96 km2) island. That's right 6-8 hours to get off the island, through the small town on mainland, and the few miles to the highway.

Noooo thank you. LOL

a reply to: davegazi2point1
Omg your description sounds nuts, just getting off the island, I totally get why you're glad you didn't go now!!!🤣

...I remember the only full total eclipse of the sun, in the UK in my lifetime (probably ever), and I was lucky enough to be living and working in the path of totality.

For 24hrs before, and after, it was the biggest sudden influx of people I'd ever seen, it was absolutely overrun, and locals just partied and made a fortune out of folk in cash sales!!

...I DEFINITELY want to see a space launch with my own eyes one day, and I'm still waiting for the flying cars we were promised in childhood sci-fi!!!😂
