“Too many question marks about this flight and then we were 20 bar low on ground spin start pressure. Best to destack, inspect both stages and try again in a day or two.

“Getting closer to Starship launch! 🚀 [@SpaceX] Initial Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2 activation campaign complete, wrapping up several days of testing that loaded cryogenic fuel and oxidizer on a V3 vehicle for the first time. While the 10-engine static fire ended early due to a ground-side issue, we saw successful”
“Humanity has a shot at reaching the stars, but only if civilization holds strong long enough for Mars to prosper on its own. Then Mars can come to the aid of Earth, just as America came to the aid of the world in WW1, WW2 and the Cold War. [@BasedBeffJezos] Honestly felt like such a special moment to be there to witness that first catch. Absolutely visceral feeling. Cemented the vibe shift. Humanity is going to make it.”
