In case anyone is interested, the orbital test flight should still go ahead some time next month, as long as nothing unforeseen crops up. Will be the worlds biggest ever rocket of course. 

 

This is bezos amazon rocket or something else? 

I know nothing about space

 

This is the SpaceX Starship.

Its SpaceX's rocket. Will carry 100 tons to orbit ultimately. That's to orbit, the Moon or Mars. And reusable of course. I presume you've seen the landing and the Falcon boosters landing vertically?

If you imagine what revolutionary science the James Webb telescope will do, now consider what kind of telescope we can put into space when we have 100 tons to play with.  

 

 

Nice sonic booms.

 

 

1;28 in for Falcon boosters landing.

 

 

thanks

It's a pleasure and an honour.

Since I live close, I've watched launches literally since they began. However, the best I've seen have been from an RV park on the inlet to Port Canaveral. I was fortunate to see two Atlas launches in one week from there. If you ever have a chance go see one close. You will never forget it as the sound waves hit you and the water ripples. 

Looks like SpaceX may attempt the first booster catch, with the arms. Now that will be very impressive if they pull it off.

Let's see a successful launch first before they start to get cocky.

They may as well Chris. Rather than dumping it in the ocean, why not attempt a catch. Its not going to compromise the launch.
