Said probably won't be live video from the sats, but the 2 with cams are going now.
Light is for the cameras.

Deploy complete, door closed.
 
All right, I have to sack out now, but damn happy we got a mostly successful launch and deployment today.

When I wake up I'll see how Starship V3 went to it's Viking grave in the ocean. Later, space freaks!

All payloads deployed, hella based

Gonna have to work out the Raptor 3 bugs for sure. The vacuum failure is a bit of a surprise on Starship though. Really gotta get that down, so far only controlled landing and relight have been 'failures'. Off to see how landing goes which has been nutty in some ways on all of them except the last was pretty smooth.

You can't just go "data collected = flight success" or else you could go, well hmmm O-ring failure limits were known on STS-25 thus the Challenger disaster wasn't a disaster. See the problem?

Buzz Aldrin had to fix a circuit breaker by shoving a pen into it to get the lunar ascent engine to work. Apollo 11 was a failure.

It'd be a failed test if it blew up on the pad. Some stuff worked, some stuff didn't, it's a test. There's no success state with a dummy payload, there's only gathering data and testing their models.

Running shit very close to tolerance predictions gets you more data.

Project Apollo was developed under significantly more leash safety standards as modern programs, it really isn't the own you think it is with say Apollo-1, Apollo-13 but sure. Even if something failed, you were able to complete part of the mission objective hence the term partial failure. I know literacy has gone down, but damn. I said it was a partial failure on the grounds of the booster failing before anything came about because of Starship. So please, please, develop reading comprehension. Ty!!!

there were dozens of rocket launch failures in the 1950s and early 60s US space program, it's called new technology. the raptor vacuum engine is also a new technology. starship V3 has litrully thousands of changes from V2. this was its first launch. please stop shitting up the thread because elon makes you mati
