Launch window: December 8, 1400 to 2300 UTC
Potential backup dates are on the 9th and 10th with identical windows.

Launch vehicle: SpaceX Starship Serial Number 8 (SN8)
>This Starship has three Raptor engines; SN36, SN39, SN42
Launch pad: Starship Launch Site, Boca Chica, Texas
Landing pad: Starship Landing Pad, Boca Chica, Texas
Payload: N/A
Hop parameters: Max altitude will be 12.5 kilometers. A horizontal 'flop' following apogee will occur, where the vehicle will then perform a powered flip to return upright for the soft landing. The landing pad is just a handful of meters from the launch pad.

Elon Musk on the likelihood of success: "Probably 1/3 chance of completing all mission objectives"

>This suborbital flight is designed to test a number of objectives, from how the vehicle’s three Raptor engines perform, and the overall aerodynamic entry capabilities of the vehicle, including its body flaps, to how the vehicle manages propellant transition. SN8 will also attempt to perform a landing flip maneuver, which would be a first for a vehicle of this size.
>With a test such as this, success is not measured by completion of specific objectives but rather how much we can learn as a whole, which will inform and improve the probability of success in the future as SpaceX rapidly advances development of Starship.

oh billy, you always were a good lad but the doctors warned me about this wild imagination of yours. Sweetie, rocket is really hard, the SLS has been in development for close to 20 years now and it has spent twice the budget of the apollo program, it still has a long way to go.
Now, someone who doesnt know about rockets might wonder if they are doing their job right, particularly since most of the components already existed. They might even suggest that a private company could do it for less money. But billy those guys are wrong, what they don't know is that space is a veeeeery special and hard activity that can only be done by the goverment... and some private companies, but only the ones that the goverment personally selects

2023 is still long time away that they have enough room for mistakes. Lets suppose they make it to orbit by end of 2021. That will mean in 2022, they'll be using it for starlink launches. Imagine how many rockets will launch in 2022 Texas site. Atleast once a month if its from a single launch site. If they 2-3, that will double/triple that. By mid 2023, they should have close to 50 launches/landings that they would be confident enough. If the Japanese passenger feels like he needs more time, spacex/he could delay it a year later and by mid 2024, they'll have 100+ launches/landings.

Labpadre used to be ambient kino, even NSF wasnt too annoying at the start. As popularity rose, plenty of numbnuts gave money to them and now it's a big jerk fest full of mouthbreathing morons. So strange how smart the guys on NSF forum are, but the chucklefucks that run it seem dumb as rocks. Disappointing I guess
