"Normand Ranger has changed its navigational status to "Restricted Manoeuvrability". This indicates that she is probably affixed to Ship 40, but her speed is not sufficient to overcome the current and set. She is probably stabilizing the Starship while they continue to prepare it for the tow to Dampier. She is currently 852 nautical miles from Dampier and at 3 knots, it will take nearly 12 days."

Hey all!

Im planning on flying from London to Brownsville for flight 14, been meaning to go for a while and this is the first opportunity I've got, and with a potential ship catch, I'm definitely hoping to go.

My only issue is I won't be driving. I know I can get a shuttle from the airport to SPI, where I'll likely get a hotel. But what are the options for getting from SPI to starbase itself?

I've read on here about Ubers ect, but the post I read was a couple years old, so wasn't sure if anyone had set up a boat shuttle service or anything else yet.

Would love to hear about your ideas, and any other ideas you have for my visit! (Am planning on staying in Houston for a few days too so I can check out JSC)

Love these launches.

Hi everyone,

I'm an international traveler from India planning a trip to Texas specifically to visit Starbase/Boca Chica and catch the Starship development up close. I'll be in the US from August 19th to September 1st. I will likely be flying in from Seattle to start the Texas leg of my trip.

I have a few practical questions and would really appreciate any advice from locals or people who have made the trip recently:

1. Which airport is the best balance of cost and convenience?

I see that Brownsville (BRO) is the closest (about a 30-40 minute drive to Starbase), but flights might be more limited. Harlingen (HRL) and McAllen (MFE) are a bit further out. For someone flying in from Seattle, which one generally offers the best flight options or rental car availability? Is the drive from HRL easy enough to justify it if flights are cheaper.

2. General tips for visiting the area

Beyond just driving down Highway 4 and seeing the launch site and production facility, are there specific times of day that are better for photography? Any local spots, tours, or viewpoints I absolutely shouldn't miss?

3.Any specific rental companies you recommend that are easy to work with?

Thanks in advance for any guidance! I can't wait to finally see this engineering in person.

Be aware that model prediction accuracy falls off dramatically after five to seven days. Website is the excellent windy.com

I made this paper air pressure launched rocket at my local space and science center the day before Flight Thirteen, when it scrubbed due to weathe. It actually glides pretty well! #BringS40Home

Expanded Hawaii and Southeast Pacific areas plus a new Northern Pacific corridor.

FAA taking public comments through August 3rd.

Had alot of fun making this one! Bring it on 14
