NASA LIVE -- Starship launch

[Darkwind]

It looks like Italy will be the first payload to Mars in 2030, if they manage to meet that deadline.

That was an interesting choice.

What say you?

 

[Darkwind]

Wow, watching those people. It must feel really good to be a real part of that. Amazing times.

 

[JGalt]

Wow! That was flawless!

I can't wait for the HD cuts of that lift off and the music pairing.

There will be no payload to Mars in 2030. Is that the date of launch or landing? True Mars missions will launch from the Moon, not Earth anyway.

Maybe they will simply test GETTING there and dropping off some stuff on the surface, which we already kind of do with every lander mission.
