Uhhhh SN9.... that’s.... not how you’re supposed to be standing!! Loud bang and I’m afraid SN9’s roll out and flight is now delayed. The stand it was on appears to have shifted. Hope everyone is ok.
Remember: DONT PANIC. This will be a small speed bump in the grand scheme of Starship. They’ll get it worked out and everything back on track like they always do. Just hoping everyone is safe. That’s a large vehicle.
It appears to be in good shape. The site down here is calm and collected. They’re already getting the lift mount ready to pick it up. Way too soon to know if it’s ok, even if not SN10 is literally on the way. Two more pics -
Again, everyone seems calm and collected and addressing the issue. I’m sure they’ll have it secured and in good order shortly to asses damage and make a plan.

There are some emails that I just can’t handle. If an aerospace engineer is upset about a light hearted “pointy end up, flamey end down” or me streaming from a Tesla instead of a $100k mobile studio/diesel truck, there’s nothing I can do for you 🤦♂️ I’ll keep growing & doing me 💪
I’ll use this type of nay saying as fodder to do better and continually up my game, as I always do. I’m extremely proud of what I’ve accomplished in the last three years since this started. I think I’m doing just fine, Steve.
And this - “Either you are going to be a space reporter and enthusiast and influencer or you're gonna live in iowa. Get off your butt Tim.” Yeah, cuz I can’t do what I do wherever there’s internet and an airport, right.
STARLINK @SpaceX Conference call Live-Tweet thread will be here 👇@elonmusk will be updating us before this awesome awesome launch!!! (PS. YES, I'm live-streaming it tonight!) 🙌 #Starlink
60 sats are production design, with no KA antenna. Some of them might not work, small possibility none will work. Crazy technology and they're very hard.
No LEO constellation has worked without going bankrupt 😳 No one has succeeded in a viable LEO constellation, but @elonmusk thinks they'll be successful!
The @blueorigin event is officially starting with some cool Tycho-ish music and Apollo comms over it. I like. Should I do one thread here on twitter or individual tweets?
What would you prefer?
Lights went dark. Apollo 11 clips on two side monitors!
