Still the fucking coolest spacesuit so far.

@Kirwan 2.5 hours to launch? Man I'd need to piss at least twice.

Surely it's just like going in your wettie in the ocean right?

Yeah, a while to go, pretty cool seeing them get into the capsule though.

I love the diagrams. That really makes it all look quite simple. I like the "Just Read the Instructions Drone Ship"

The names are great. Sci Fi classic of "Of course I Still Love You"

That's a fucking cool looking rocket.

Not reusable, which is quaint , but still cool

[Kirwan]

These are getting routine now, 7th use and landing of this particular rocket.

Looking good for the sub orbital test next week of SN8 (Starship), that will be exciting as there is a pretty good chance that it could explode/breakup 15km up. They are testing the nose cone, landing flip, using the two fuel tanks, then trying to land it with three rapter engines.

Never gets old:

@NTA I love how if something is wrong, it diverts to the water so they save the droneship.

[NTA]

Starship testing happening now.

Something caught fire in the rocket housing - one rocket has flared out? Or maybe that is deliberate...

[NTA]

Back to one rocket - must be deliberate.
