Starship Flight 3 as soon as tomorrow. Lots of excitement in the air down here around South Padre Island and Starbase.
Anybody in town for a Spring Break launch?

Has the FAA given the green light?

Expected today. No sense of concern about that.
The thing that makes me wonder if perhaps we're really looking at Friday or Saturday, is Elon's post yesterday (coupled with the fact he then flew from Austin to Europe, rather than Brownsville/Starbase).

Trying to decide if this is worth getting up at 5:30am...

You could probably roll outta the sack closer to 7am CT and still catch the good parts.
I'm looking at a 2am or 3am start to the day, getting to the Island ahead of as much traffic as possible. And then watching from a boat. Sleep for a few hours. And then afterparty at Starbase. 🤩

...also want to head to the beach before I leave the Island and see if I can't recover any detached Starship tiles.

FAA just granted the launch license. Saw it on the NSF app.

The wind is being monitored. And Elon Musk is en route from London to Teterboro, NJ, hopefully just for a fueling pitstop and then onward to Brownsville/Starbase. Everything else in place for tomorrow morning.

Still drives me nuts that they still only broadcast on Twitter. I'll watch Everyday Astronaut instead I guess.
