Why is it called a starship ??

That’s cold right? Doesn’t generate any heat, right?

It’s frustrating to see another scrub, but is this really a failure or just the intended "fail fast" approach SpaceX always talks about? I wonder if these last-second aborts are actually saving them millions in potential hardware loss compared to a mid-air anomaly. Better to be safe on the pad than a fireball in the sky, right?

That heart-stopping moment when the countdown stops is always so intense! It's wild how complex getting those 33 engines synced up must be. Do you think they'll get it sorted quickly for the next attempt?
