SpaceX does not stream on YouTube, you are watching an old launch on a fake channel. Please report them.
Dang I got got. Thanks for letting me know
You weren't the only one, I clicked on it too, as did thousands of others, before finding a real stream

#63Very excited for this as usual, and thanks to a few delays, I won’t be on the train at T-0. As for expectations, I’ll be thrilled to see Starship reach orbital velocity. Last time was so close. Engine restart and intact reentry? Even better but maybe more of a stretch? Fears? Only that it doesn’t do as well as IFT-2. And that’s always a possibility.
Also commuting around this :) Looks to be very successful. I wonder how many tests the ship can pass in orbit.

To be fair the capsule caught fire in a ground test once with three lives lost (Apollo 1) and the command module had an explosion in space once (Apollo 13) with no loss of life but it was a close thing. I do agree with your larger point though. SpaceX just feels so much less impressive then previous major rockets, and that's only reinforced when they try and celebrate minor milestones like its supposed to be the grea…
I wasn't yet alive during the Apollo launches, so I can't directly compare, but I for one feel these launches (today's included) are extremely impressive and am very happy to celebrate the "minor" milestones with them.

>this problem permeates the new space race/billionaire toys parade.
how can you see what spacex is doing and think it's just a toy parade? they launched a fully reusable saturn v.
they are launching reusable rockets in a pace that we've never seen before (both for public and private entities).

Yes, the official stream is only on Twitter now.
They also stream the launch live on the spacex.com website.
Thank you
I tried signing up for twitter but gave up at the "match these dice with these symbols (1 of 10)" stage.
It's not a great interface compared with youtube etc, not rewinding etc, but at least it works

#68I 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...
There's a fake SpaceX YouTube account that looks official because they included videos from the real channel in playlists to get verification ticks & have managed to harvest thousands of subscribers. YT's interface is a bit dumb for including the verification ticks in that use-case.
YT's interface fights negative feedback harder than a spoiled toddler.
Hiding downvotes, squirreling the "block channel" feature into a dot menu, breaking it completely on recommended pages, and then breaking search pages... it's almost like they don't want to fight spam.

#69It's in orbit! ( "...and we have a callout for nominal orbit insertion..." ) edit: Not actually in orbit! This is a suborbital flight. Mea culpa
Technically its suborbital
