Live I use Nasaspaceflight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOQkk3ojNfM)

Marcus House does a good weekly round up

And, of course, Scott Manley for analysis

Last time with SN9 I asked that question and 2 mins before launch the offical SpaceX YouTube started its live stream which included onboard camera views, which I presume all the other ground based commentators miss out on.

Fuel (sucking eggs answer) and as it is chilled, pre-cooling the plumbing and I think some engine parts.

Chosen as it is relatively easy to manufacture on Mars (typically described as In-situ resource utilisation).

I use NASA Spaceflight right up til the SpaceX feed goes live (subscribe to the channel) then I put SpaceX on the big screen and NSF onto a tablet.

That’s a bit of a bummer - out of balance Raptor.

[Easternlight]

Still looking at trying again today...

[fiatpower]

Going to try again in 2 hours

[MartG]

Possibly another attempt in 2 hrs

[Flooble]

Surely it takes at least a month and a half to have another go? Or is that only Boeings?

The starship shibboleth is "fully and rapidly reusable"; course, they are supposed to move in the meantime.
