Have now, that's impressive.
Full support for space exploration but I do wish we spent more to save the planet we are on.

Elon does good things tech wise

Can't wait for space travel to be within the financial reach of the average person!

Well... ok, I will be happy to pay a little more to do it earlier

header tank didnt have enough pressure to feed the fuel caused oxygen rich burn and the raptors melted themselves.

good news is SN9 is being rolled out the the launch pad after the weekend! probably see another launch in the new year!

It was pretty cool and I'd reckon a successful test for the most part that also had a big bang at the end. Win all around
