How to watch the first flight of Starship prototype #15
Screen capture from LabPadre Nerdle camera live stream.
UPDATED and BUMPED. The SpaceX live stream is now embedded below the fold. It is set to go live in about five minutes before launch, with the launch now set for about 5:25 pm (Central).
Capitalism in space: The roads have now closed at Boca Chica, Texas, in preparation for today’s test flight of SpaceX’s 15th Starship prototype.
The following live streams are presently available if you wish to watch:
- Labpadre’s 24/7 live stream, with six other cameras also available
- NASASpaceFlight’s live stream
- Everyday Astronaut’s live stream
I will add other live streams as they become available. If SpaceX adds its own live stream I will embed it below.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Thus far it looks completely successful. BUT they are detanking and there is a bit of a fire, hopefully we don’t have an SN10 repeat.
I still can’t believe they nailed that crazy flip-to-vertical-and-burn maneuver.
Success. Historic launch and landing. Congratulations SpaceX, USA, and humanity.
Apparently, WiFi cameras have a three kilometer range :)
Amazing.
