Spacex Starship Mk1 presentation tomorrow

Elon Musk will be streaming live frtom Boca Chica Texas tomorrow (2pm Saturday, local Texas time). Anyone who follows Felix's "What About It" Utube updates will be familiar with the build progress on the Starship Mk1 and Mk2 (Coco Beach version). Current photos from the Boca Chica site show Starship Mk1 completely stacked and the fins and legs installed. It is rumoured that will will fly as early as one month from now, initially in a suborbital 20km high hop, with return to Boca Chica pad.

If your interested in these developments, watch for Elon's stream, or Felix's update.

I watched the replay of the presentation this morning - quite impressive. That is one big sucker of a rocket!

BTW, go directly to the SpaceX YouTube channel - there are a lot of re-distributors that have slow and buggy feeds.

As always an impressive, inspiring and technical presentation by a stuttering Musk
Hmmm....... stainless steel space ships, something out of Buck Rogers in the 40’s and 50’s
It’s a shame he wasn’t around during the Apollo Program , he would have put another 3 or 4 J Missions to the moon and still have money left over to give back to Congress ( maybe even a Mars mission by the late 80’s , who knows ? )

Exciting times ahead over the next decade !!!
