Busy day tomorrow. looks like a 6am East Coast launch that looks like it'll be clouded out here - then later that day the Starship V3 in Texas could be the biggest kaboom yet!

That’s utterly awesome 👍

Starship Heavy launch at 6:45 pm

Actually got the countdown to zero and lit the engines, then scrubbed.
Never seen that before.

Another amazing EC launch of a Falcon 9 this morning, A few seconds after this I could see both boosters jettisoned...pretty wild.

I wasn't sure if the Falcon 9 had dual boosters - and apparently it doesn't.
Must have been some optical illusion on the release of the first stage.

Ha!
