[@shanghai264359]

I love the banter between you guys! From one of your UK subscribers.

[@martindixon4557]

Thanks!

[@daveschneider4723]

Oh, my, "It's a bit like SN8" ... and that's Alex without a warmup!

[@corrinastanley125]

Fun stream thanks NSF team.

[@wendyhood1006]

Great stream guys missed it live but still thoroughly enjoyed it and a very Happy Birthday to KMR 😊

[@RickScidmore]

Thank you Space X for doing what you are doing.
Thank you Elon

Jack, regarding S. Texas soil:
Caliche is a mix of limestone and chalk, common in the Texas hill country.
What they are reinforcing at the side of Hwy 4, if not sand, is likely gumbo, which is basically clay with some humus mixed in. It matches your description.
I haven't dug deep into near beach areas of S. Texas, so I could be wrong.

[@jamesburke4437]

My fear is knowing the gusty winds in south Texas will create jetties of turbulence at a time of the booster flight is at it’s lowest mass to surface area! I hope they have responsive enough thrusters to overcome this threat to the safe catch!

Jack, DON'T WEAR A KILT! we don't need this kind of fan service

[@stephenslezic]

For refueling tests, they either need to have 2 towers working, or they need to be able to land the boosters and reuse them within week(s).

[@elizabethhoeppner8881]

Cool 😎

[@riparianlife97701]

So the tower IS taller, considering they are going to use a pancake launch mount on a flame trench.

[@zapfanzapfan]

So, full WDR in a day or two?

[@DW_Kiwi]

At the end of the day. Its the FAA that is your "problem" eh!

[@bravevoice2771]

The FAA should butt out and leave it to NASA; they can't even manage aviation.

[@DieterMaier-r6k]

@@bravevoice2771 Just launch it !
Dont wait for sleepy FAA/EPA!!

[@BrianMoore-tc2xe]

Could the full stack Kathy Lueders referred be B12 & S31... could they do that,
that fast?

[@longwallmining]

Hurray up and light it already

[@Inspace_noone_can_hear_u_honk.]

To think this could’ve been launching late this week or next… “sigh”

[@Bqd23]

KMR, i have the same b day as you. 😂 Happy B -Day🎉

[@NASASpaceflight]

Happy Birthday @Bqd23! --kmr

[@Bqd23]

@@NASASpaceflight Thank you. 23rd is always a great day.

[@DieterMaier-r6k]

Just launch it SpaceX!
Dont wait for sleepy FAA/EPA!

[@kallethoren]

Legally, they can't. I don't know the exact repercussions, but a legal dispute would set SpaceX back way more than if they settle everything before launch. Launching without permission could be a massive danger to a lot of people

[@oscarsiegel5165]

Star ship and super heavy I thought was as tall as the Empire State building

[@ale131296]

They are far shorter than the Empire State Building

[@rjswas]

I think you mean starship (full stack) is taller than the statue of liberty.

[@jackvanriel2869]

When is he going ?

[@pre38]

1:21:15 one of the cleanest ‘nice‘ I‘ve heard so far

[@SmokeysOutpost]

Road open yet?

Yes!
