At about T-8 hours before Starship Flight 13’s third attempt to launch, what are the conditions out at the launch site? What does the weather look like? And, what is it like to be at the launch site and Starbase about 8 or so hours from a launch? Today I talk about all of this and provide some updates (narration & visuals) on the construction around the launch site too & why much of this is necessary. Oh, and a reminder too. If you have ever thought about coming out to Starbase and experience something you can literally not do anywhere else in the world (being at an active rocket launch site with a fully stacked rocket just hours before a launch all up close), then you need to plan on doing so sooner than later. These opportunities may not last forever, and indeed some restrictions continue to be added over time. Good luck to @SpaceX and the Starship team … I hope Friday with the 13th launch is lucky indeed! 🚀🍀🤞 @esherifftv

This may be the new Rocket Garden at Starbase, with a raised center structure, curving stairs up either side and perhaps space for Booster 12 & ship 20 displays. Looks to be nearing completion, perhaps by the end of August. If this is the new Rocket Garden, I hope it is open to the public.

Looks like Starship Flight 13 has scrubbed for today due to weather concern issues. Next opportunity is tomorrow at 5:45 PM again with a 90-minute window and backup on Saturday.

Additional preflight testing on Super Heavy complete. Now starting preparations to launch Starship as soon as tomorrow, Thursday, July 23. Weather is currently a significant watch item for launch
