A small piece of me wanted that to shut down the whole launch, because you know he just told the pilots to fly directly over the rocket.

Trump's going to be hacking into their comms and rambling about aliens and Obama isn't he.

Launch abort, its for the best, it was a great practise day and im sure they would have even picked up a few learned lessons from the day, every thing they are doing is hugely valuable to future success, its not a failure to reschedule its a WIN

No man in human history has ever gone limp as fast as Elon just did when he heard the launch was scrubbed.

***This has nothing to do with Crew Dragon or the manned space launch from Kennedy Space Center***

The latest version of Starship (SN4) just went boom in Boca Chica Texas! The static fire went without issue but then a leak started about 2 minutes after. The explosion is seconds later.

A damn impressive explosion

On this 2nd tweet, you can see the square box on top of the starship, a 44000 pound mass simulator fly through the air.

Okay, this is cool. This is a video from EverydayAstronaut. The angle clearly shows a jet of methane pushing the 44,000lb mass simulator (box on top of the rocket) upwards and then later falling back to the ground. The slo-mo section is the best.

t minus 2 hours....26min ,47seconds at Kennedy

They are just talking about the weather now.

Edit: Nasa lead is giving it 50/50, few cloud build ups, go for launch as of right now!

Clearing meant to happen at 3, go at 3:30 so looking possible today!!

Watching. Is Trump really offering most space funding since JFK? If so, that's probably only thing I like about Trump.

Why is everyone at NASA saying "commercial partner" instead of "SpaceX"?
