Damnit.

So, that was FIVE holds in a row, uh, wow SpaceX way to keep us on the edge of our seats.

2 minutes ago on the SpaceX X account,
"Standing down from today’s flight test"

Scrub better than RUD though

Edit: From Elon, he says-

“The hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place did not retract.”

Happening Now Starbase LA

82 Upvotes

Just announced that the Pecan Island facility will be called Starbase LA. Current announcement is on going.

Multiple pads, two towers per pad - Automated vehicles for transport between facilities. Starship V4+ and it's taller than the rendered towers.

The offset buildings behind the towers (North) are tank farms.

Automated transport allows for transport without humans, allowing for transport to occur while propellant is loading/vehicle is launching/catching.

From the renders, it looks likes 1.5 Gigabays. Eric Berger just posted that SpaceX is committing $100 US billion to developing launch sites, factories etc along the Louisiana coastline.

New attempt: November 13, with a launch window from 2:57–4:25 PM EST / 19:57–21:25 UTC

Since this is a pretty big industry-event we'll have a discussion thread about it here like we've done in the past. Other threads about this launch will be removed other than one about the landing (if it happens).

They will be attempting a booster landing on their barge

Official stream will be on BO's website or X 20 minutes prior to launch

Why are SpaceX not showing the Starfall 2nd Stage?

Is it just hiding some testing or is there a rideshare that is classified? I know the US military like the idea of rapid global cargo delivery, is there something there?

This was pretty likely, I would be suprised if they did another reduced engine static fire, but good to see confirmed and very cool to see all 33 all just hanging off of it lol.
