Thanks, I like the Spaceflight Now commentary the most. Best analysis.

I find those youtube channels far too grifty for my tastes. Sadly as twitter doesn't seem to work ("Something went wrong. Try reloading.") I have lost quite a lot of the excitement I used to have for spacex.

I was just watching Spacex official stream and at ignition they switched to Musk hawking cryptocurrency. What just happened?? edit: wild I just realized take off is 50 minutes from now... what had I been watching?? they did a countdown and there was ignition... was that a time wrap? Am I going insane? edit2: @spacex034 is not @spacex... today I learned...

Anyone have a non youtube link please?

SpaceX does not stream on YouTube anymore. You can always get the official X broadcast link off their spacex.com launches page. Here's the one for today:

For an uninformed person like myself - what's the expectation for this launch? Is it expected to explode like the last two?

They are hoping to achieve a hard landing in the ocean.

Given the progress shown between the first and second integrated test, odds are decent that they'll achieve it, however they are also trying for a number of firsts in orbit so who knows.

Well, yes, but the question is when.

If everything goes right the booster will likely explode when it lands in the gulf . Starship itself will most likely explode on reentry somewhere over the Indian ocean.

Now, I think the question is, will it explode before then, and of course that's why they do flight tests to find out.

SpaceX does not stream on YouTube, you are watching an old launch on a fake channel. Please report them.

Is that new? Because SpaceX has streamed launches on YouTube for years.

They did that for IFT-2 and the first channel I went to was one of those crypto bullshit things too. Very dumb decision on SpaceX's (well probably Musk himself) part.
