Next SpaceX Starship High Altitude Test Launch Coming Very Soon
Hey all you space exploration fans: SpaceX s Starship prototype SN11 is on the launch pad at Boca Chica Beach in southern Texas, undergoing work on engines and other components, getting ready for the ship s high altitude test flight which may take place this Sunday, March 21, 2021.
As always, the flight will be contingent on weather, the readiness of the raptor engines, the successful static fire testing of the powerful Raptor engines, as well as all the other components of the craft.
Some sources report that Sunday will be the earliest opportunity in the schedule for the flight, which will top-out at about 10km, or 33,000 feet, followed by the belly flop maneuver and return to the pad for a (hopefully) upright and intact landing.

I ve had the same nightmare over and over again for the last 10 years. My teeth are falling out, and I m either at work or in a public setting. I completely panic. In my dream, I m just spitting my teeth into my hands or pulling them out with my fingers because they are broken and loose.
I always feel a tremendous sense of relief when I wake up and all of my teeth are still in their place. I ve read that dreams about your teeth can be stress-related, and I ve always just assumed that was the cause. I ve learned to live with it.
