@ethanMUFC04 @supersonicflipz It got removed, but you can still download a version from the Wayback machine. I discovered this yesterday after spending a while looking for a copy of the mod

@RyanHansenSpace It’s gotta be easier to just get it to land in Australia, and then fly the top 20 or so engineers out there to inspect it.

Then just cut and send a few important parts for deep inspection

If we’re lucky maybe they can send a flap to the US as a keepsake

@ScottLikedSLS I hope there’s a moment like this when the recovery team leadership gets off the phone with HQ and returns to tell the crew that they will be recovering the ship

@sintropia_acc I like to think they’re just clicking record and then trying to press play on two different windows as fast as they can

@JoeTegtmeyer SpaceX could make some quick cash if they used a spot like this to do ticketed viewing of Starship launches

@stratospunky FWIW, I don’t think they’ll launch with a tropical storm overhead or down range. Probably NET Monday, so a couple extra days for last min checks. https://t.co/f1AScQaIIG

Editor's Note: this is because the kid didn't take the marshmallow test. He was forced to take 20 marshmallow tests. Every time he took the test, seconds away from winning the 2nd marshmallow, the proctor walked up and just fucking ate both marshmallows and said "you snooze you lose"

@Alexphysics13 My sarcastic answer is that something at the T-00:40 hold will inevitably cause a scrub for a day.

But I’d also imagine that a successful launch on Thursday means they get Friday to review data while the events are still fresh in their minds before celebrating over the weekend

@EpcotEnthusiast There’s so much unused space inside that building though. Why couldn’t they replace both tracks with LSM propulsion instead of lift hills and use so much more vertical space in there and still have space for two tracks?

@mcrs987 This video would be hilarious if you sped it up to like 4x speed and put some ridiculous music over it
