I’m sure it will be live streamed at SpaceX.com and expect that we won’t know the start time until either there is an announcement on the website or Elon tweets about it. Either of which could happen at any moment...Trying to plan the day around Saturday's Starship presentation in Boca. Would appreciate someone posting the time. Searching the internet I haven't found much information, even on reddit. No surprise, SpaceX is keeping this tightly wrapped. Fully expect this to be webcast, perhaps the link will be up on the SpaceX website later today.
Pretty sure it's local (Boca Chica) time.Okay but what time zone is he using?
I hate to be a negative Nelly ... and I'm not a rocket scientist ... but I don't like the evolution of Starship. It's veering towards an Orbiter II, with the large canards, chines, winglets/flaplets, etc. The final design will probably merge all those into delta wings! It's the classic trap of combining astronautics and aeronautics.
Maybe you could explain — not as a rocket scientist of course, just an interested layperson — exactly what engineering and technical problems you see in the Starship design.I'm not a rocket scientist ... but I don't like the evolution of Starship.

You do realize, all those surfaces are going to be perpendicular to the airflow*, not parallel.

I'm unaware of any such "classic trap". What are you talking about?I hate to be a negative Nelly ... and I'm not a rocket scientist ... but I don't like the evolution of Starship.
