Apparently you got lucky, I use Safari, and it immediately threw up a log in screen with on option to do anything else. I guess I'm out
EDIT- So I just tried this, I clicked on the "read XXX replies" in the link and it brought up the page w/o a log in screen. Not sure why that worked, but I'll take it as a win. I had tried clicking on each of the other "clickable" areas in the link and each one brought me back to an X login page, but clicking on the "Read xxx replies" worked. I'll take that as a win for now- I sure wish X would go back to letting you read "X's" or "Tweets" or whatever they call them now without an account.

Grendal's link

Google's linkhttps: //twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1698526823012004000
Note the space in the URLs so that TMC doesn't process them. Also, I stripped down Grendal's link to remove some URL parameters that TMC adds. I'll have to wait for the next broadcast to try some experiments.
The status link works in many browsers and in iPhone too. The broadcast link sends me to a login page.
Right. Now create a post with the links, preview the post and click on the links so that you're reaching Twitter through TMC. I was running into a problem where the forum was changing my link.
It's sad it has to be this hard- Why can't SpaceX just keep the YouTube live streams and add the X live stream That would be the right thing to do.
Well, if the issue is the forum mangling the URL's, then I'm not sure it's correct to blame SpaceX for making their live stream freely available on one platform vs. freely available on another.
For those complaining about creating an account.. I don't know what the big deal is. We are being asked to create accounts for silly things like ordering food online from a restaurant.
Create the Twitter account, login once and you can forget about it. It just works. No one is forcing to follow anyone or read other tweets. Although in this case I don't think an account is required.

For me it’s more complicated than that. I do not wish to contribute to the X membership numbers, which influences how much X can charge advertisers. I do not want to support X in any way. My reasons for that are outside the scope of this thread so I will not state them.
I wish SpaceX would offer launch livestreams on their website.
Heh. They do. It's called X.
There’s many reasons for investing in Starship, Mars being just one. It’ll be a very capable moon transporter, and oh yeah, they have a contract to pay for a lot of that development. Elon stated that Starship is needed to make Starlink profitable. I see no reason to doubt him on that score. Starlink will be massively bigger than current SpaceX in a few years. Starlink will be a $30B/yr revenue company while all else SpaceX is around $4B. So that alone is a reason to invest in Starship.
Remember that while Falcon 9 is nice, it ISN’T fully reusable. Moving from Falcon 9 to Starship will be like moving from ULA to Falcon 9 in terms of cost. Maybe even a bigger percentage delta actually.

They do, it's the default way I watch launches, since their website has the most up to date launch time.
Previously they would embed a youtube stream, not sure how it'll work with X (missed last Starlink launch due to obligations), but I assume it'll be something similar.
SpaceX is currently building a Crew Tower at SLC-40. This is for backup in case of a major failure at LC-39A. SpaceX will do a few test cargo runs before they do a Crew launch from SLC-40. It will probably premiere for use on Crew 9 or Crew 10.
(Seemed like a good thread for this... if not, Mods, please move to where you see fit)
It's been 15 years since Falcon 1 reached orbit (anniversary yesterday).
Nice retrospective video on it:

IMO the progress SpaceX has made in just 15 years is beyond astonishing! I’m sure to Elon it has been agonizingly slow, but not to me.
Well, the current testing of Super Heavy is certainly agonizingly slow.
Sorry but I have to disagree with that.
Compared with traditional space, it's incredibly amazing where they are at.
When you add int he magnitude of what's bwing done, it's even more impressive.
Tell me how long the folks that brought you SLS would have taken?
