SpaceX Starship V3 first test flight scheduled for today, Thu May 21, around 6:30 p.m. EDT.
Some day, it will launch a million AI data centers into LEO.
How sad will you be if it ends in a RUD?

NASA will host a news conference at 2 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, May 26, to share Moon Base plans and highlight progress toward a sustained presence on the lunar surface.
We wonder how much it will depend on the success/failure of today's Starship v3 test flight.
Of course, it takes lot more than a big rocket to establish a moon base with a sustained presence of humans in it. We will see how thorough the planning is.

It's a scrub!
SpaceX Starship V3 test flight will not fly today.
Will retry tomorrow.

Comment on this everytime, but the difference between the professionalism of NASA and ESA space flight operations coverage and these commercial launches is really something to behold.
The one trillion dollar hold...
