The 11th SpaceX Starship Test Flight will happen in just under 3 minutes from now

They say it's all looking green for launch at the moment, including weather.

You can watch it live here:

Always exciting to watch it live, they always have very beautiful live shots from the ship, especially the plasma during re-entry.

Most interesting thing today will probably be to see how much better the upgraded heatshield will work.

This is likely the last Starship launch this year, because it's the last V2 Starship and there will be a bit of a gap between V2 and V3.

Edit: Progress so far:

1. Liftoff worked well
2. Stage separation worked well
3. Booster boostback burn worked well
4. Booster landing over water worked well
5. Ship orbit insertion worked well

Next upcoming milestone in a few minutes: Payload Deploy Test

New research: Platinum signatures buried in Greenland ice sheet may have originated from a volcanic fissure eruption in Iceland, not space | It has long been proposed that the signatures were due to a meteor hitting the Earth, to cause a 1000-year-long period known as the Younger Dryas.
