Launch Day, Pi Day
It's 1:30am and I just woke up ready to be a talking head on a bunch of other people's streams for Starship/Superheavy IFT-3. Things have been fixed, changes have been made and maybe this time it'll make it to orbit, or at least if it fails they'll hope that it finds a new unanticipated mechanism by which things go wrong.
If it succeeds the overall flight will be shorter, ending in the Indian ocean, hopefully in as few a pieces as possible, I'd like to know what assets will be on site to track this as it descends, it's a shame nobody publishes ASD-B tracks for unscheduled flights over oceans but maybe if starship makes flights cheap enough we amateurs can launch a satellite to do this?
One place that I'll be is NASA Spaceflight's stream, because they're more organized than myself, without being overly shiny
