#4Note that there will not be an official livestream on Youtube. Every time there are some people who fall for scammers pretending to be one and end up listening to an AI impersonation of Elon Musk try to sell them cryptocoins, missing the real launch.
If you must watch on youtube, NSF or Everyday Astronaut typically have good (unofficial) livestreams.

Well they were 1 second away from the last one auto-aborting and smashing into the pad instead of catching it.

Don't let spite erode you from within. It is a destructive feeling.

They're working off the same license they used for test 5, so they basically have to exactly the same thing they did for test 5. They did manage to add this:
"An additional objective for this flight will be attempting an in-space burn using a single Raptor engine, further demonstrating the capabilities required to conduct a ship deorbit burn prior to orbital missions."
