Woohoo!

Nice to see a night launch.

Nice to see a night launch.
Even nicer to see a launch from American soil.

They still haven't learned to be quiet during the launch and let the engines roar. Not to mention the self promotion and patting their own backs at that moment is rather tempting fate ala Challenger.

They docked with the ISS at 20:01 PST.

Watch SpaceX launch Starship SN8 to 12.5km and then belly flop back down!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlryDJqWalI
[Time subject to change. We may adjust our livestream times with updated information. PS we WILL have SpaceX's feed pulled up on ours too]
SpaceX will be attempting a 12.5-kilometer hop with their Starship SN8 prototype vehicle. SN8 will lift off under the power of its three Raptor engines and fly to an altitude of approximately 12.5 km (~41,000 ft). At that altitude, using its body flaps, SN8 will flip to a horizontal position and descend belly-first.
Just prior to landing, using a combination of its engines and body flaps, SN8 will flip around again to attempt a soft propulsive landing.

I expect to see a launch somewhere around 4:20pm TX time. Probably deliberately aiming for that time.

Never mind, I think AZ's on the right track.
