So it does seem you know it stands to reason that that could potentially happen soon.
I know they're aiming that within the next year, but still there's there's definitely a long road ahead in order to really fully unlock this vehicle for what it's
Right, so from what Elon said, it sounded like it was a hydraulic pin that controlled the uh arm on the launch tower.
Um, you know, he they mentioned a quick disconnect, you know, all these things need to move rapidly out of the way once the launch takes place so that the rocket can actually clear the tower.
So it might seem small, pretty important.
That's just what makes rocket launches so exciting, right?
One tiny little piece of technology.
Technology had could go wrong, and you know the whole thing get gets stopped.
So it sounded like there were also a number of other issues they were working too.
Something with the flame trench also had uh stopped the countdown at one point, too.
This is all a new pad, right?
So this is a new rocket, a new launch pad, and I think with this launch, they definitely wanted to go well this time.
given all of the stakes surrounding their IPO and their filing that they had this week.
So I wouldn't be surprised if they're being a little extra cautious this time than they have been with previous test missions.
Well, the anticipation has been super high for this launch because it's the debut of the third iteration of Starship, what's known as version three or V3.
And this vehicle is supposed to be the one that kind of achieves all of the dreams that Starship has laid out, right?
It's supposed to get to that.
Really massive payload capacity of a hundred metric tons.
It's also supposed to be optimized for total reuse, which is kind of the ultimate holy grail that they want to achieve with Starship, being able to bring back both Starship and the Super Heavy Booster intact so that they can rapidly refly them again.
And so this is kind of the version that's supposed to do all of that.
