Yeah I had them on mute on a second screen and just saw them standing outside with the countdown going down from 1 minute, put the audio back on and they were talking about how cool and awesome this was, not knowing that it was already scrubbed. So I was super confused for a moment.
Anyway, better luck next time.

The rocket lady was saying 48 hrs minimum to recycle the propellant, so sounds about right

If NASA doesn’t have the strongest rocket that’s on the US government, they could have the same style rocket…

Are they only gonna try land the Starship or are they gonna try land/catch the booster as well?
I know long term they plan to catch the booster on those tower things but what about for this test?

Where did you find the date? I only see.
Learned a lot today, now offloading propellant, retrying in a few days …

Elon himself said there was a high chance of scrub. Hopefully the next attempt on 4/19 will get as far as lighting the candle.

Well, 4/20 is a good day for something to get high so better luck that day

I wouldn't be suprised if Musk has taken this extra time to paint Doge on the side of the rocket.

Or if he just made excuses so it would end up falling on 4/20.

I think if he could've launched it on Monday he would have. If he really wanted to do it on 4/20 then he could've just held off another few days and we might've still got the frozen pressure valve.

I hope something happens like that.
I remember this:
And thinking it was a lost opportunity to have an "oh shit" image of Wile E Coyote on that heat shield.
It would have been fucking perfect.

I understand how funny it would be, but that's probably a hundred pounds of paint. It's the reason they stopped painting the liquid fuel tank of the space shuttle.I wouldn't be suprised if Musk has taken this extra time to paint Doge on the side of the rocket.

Elon's idiotic enough to do it anyway. He owns billions in Doge and needs to plug it to get the noobs to bump the coin price so he can sell it off. He's also launching on 4/20 to make a marketing statement.

Bigger than the American flag? It does look a little bare. Do it up like a racecar.I wouldn't be suprised if Musk has taken this extra time to paint Doge on the side of the rocket.

Careful friend, your tinfoil hat seems to cut off the blood supply to your brain.

Either a nice flight, or a big BOOM! - win/win.
