  1. 4/20 lol just as planned

  2. Trial and error is what made the Falcons the most efficient rocket ever. It is also trial and error that will perfect this rocket as well to become one of the best ever made

  3. What's the big deal? NASA scrubs it's launches many times.

  4. Jefferson Airplane called and they want their Starship back.

  5. Look that freaking thing is gonna explode. An alien 👽 told me in my dreams last night and I warned Elon and he took it seriously. I'm for real. That ship is gonna explode 💣 💥💥😢

  6. 3 Unmanned trips to Moon w/o Failure AND You're ready for a Man to MOON. 3 Unmanned Trips to MARS w/o Failure AND You're Ready for Man to MARS. A Stuck Valve? Really?

  7. After 2 Years of 'Ready to Launch' and Hundreds of Upgrades ….A STUCK VALVE??? Hey Elon, and you really believe you're going to Mars? Stuck Valve means You Don't Have The System "Reliability" to achieve that …not after 2 years of continuous so-called improvements. Bring the Axe Down on your Reliability & Certification teams.

  8. im not getting my hopes up until 4/20

  9. Starship will never carry 100 astronauts, there will not be the space in it for that. For a start, the amount of food it will need to carry plus water to sustain those 100 astronauts alone will take up a lot of space indeed.

  10. The explosion will be awesome. Can't wait to see it take out a huge piece of Texas.

  11. Next window is Wednesday 48 hour unload

  12. Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon couldn't be reached for comment.

  13. Stuck valve, this was planned.

  14. uh – so what happens in space, on the moon or Mars? "Er, uh mission control? We got a stuck something – over."

  15. It’s a test rocket for reason. It’s gonna have issues. This how the Space X team learns how to iterate and fix it for the next test. It’s repeated over and over agin until we be launching Starships like it’s a Falcon 9.

  16. Even when it launches half the world won't believe it.

  17. WHY ARE THERE NO BELITTLING COMMENTS LIKE FOR SLS.

  18. Spaceplanes are essential for routine spaceflights unlike a cartoonish vintage 1960s brute force mentality of multistage vertical flight where equivalent of whole refineries are being disposed of so "Xcor Aerospace" with it's Patented "Cryogen Valve" of vulvalur shape for Lynx spaceplanes, Hector De"Auvergne's Patent of upward angular acceleration, and Mutsuro Bundo's Patent of displacement lift are much better.

    Even in Japan of Northeast Asia there is a Patent for a ground based particle accelerator to power a rocket with muons since in of March 2019 by invite only to an MIT Conference I gave a presentation on how Nitchitsu's Noguchi and Songsu of early 1940s Hamgyong Province had developed muon catalyzed fusion powered rocket planes ideal for spaceplanes as Sakharov's work began during Soviet pillaging while Alvarez's work began when Untied Nations peacekeepers returned from ruins of Hamgyong.

  19. Then unstuck it, it's not that hard.
