    The changes they are testing out for this flight, visual is below.

    I believe the launch is scheduled for 5pm eastern on January 10 (Friday) from Texas.

    Don't also forget...the long awaited and delayed Blue Origin "New Glenn" should finally lift off 1am eastern also on Friday (well, Thursday midnight-ish) from Florida. It's their first attempt I think at what Space-X as been doing...including landing the first stage back on a sea-based platform. New Glenn is 320-feet tall, about as tall as the new Artemis SLS, but not as tall as Saturn V (Apollo) at 636 feet, nor Starship at 398 feet.

      Is this Starship launch an attempt to orbit the craft?

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        No, I think the same destinations as launches 5 and 6. The first stage will return to the chopsticks (or scuttle out into the gulf) and the starship will orbit and then land in the Indian Ocean.

            That thing is big.

            Here is a concept drawing for the 100 passenger version.

              Delayed "3-4 days."
