SpaceX Starship Flight 6

Join Star Fleet for the next launch and booster catch of the SpaceX Starship, the most powerful rocket in history! It'll be launching no earlier than Tuesday November 18, 2024 at 4:00 PM CST (22:00 UTC) on the Flight 6 mission, which is expected to feature another spectacular mechazilla catch attempt of the Super Heavy booster. We'll be offering boat trips to view the launch, as well as a special first-come, first-serve pre-launch cruise—reach out to us on our Whats App community or at 321-209-2224 if interested in the latter, and see below for more info.

Our viewing location at the mouth of the South Bay, approximately 4 miles / 7 km from the launch site with a direct line of sight across the water, provides some of the closest and clearest views of the pad, rocket, liftoff and booster landing available to the public. Note that unlike the location just off the South Padre jetty where most other vessels anchor, this offers a closer and slightly clearer sightline, has calmer, more protected and less busy waters, and doesn't have many other large boats to block our view, nor do we block that of those watching from shore.

LATEST LAUNCH UPDATE: As of Sunday, November 17, SpaceX has completed a tanking test/Wet Dress Rehersal, and the flight remains on track for Tuesday November 19 at 4 pm, with excellent launch and viewing weather expected.' Last step before flight is the Ship getting destacked to add its Flight Termination System explosives, and then restacked for launch.

We now have a handful of additional tickets available on several smaller, faster pontoon boats from a location near Viva restaurant / Jim's Pier on South Padre Island. To book, either join our Whats App community and message us on the Waiting List channel, or call/text the Star Fleet number, 321-209-2224! We also are booking additional pre-launch sunset trips on Monday if people are interested, reach out by calling/texting or posting in the Pre-Launch WhatsApp channel!

We have a Whats App community that we highly recommend you join, where folks are coordinating carpooling, accommodations, travel tips and more, as well as for updates from and questions to the Star Fleet organizers! It has separate channels for major Star Fleet announcements, Flight 6 updates, launch discussion, Q&A and general chat, so you can subscribe to notifications for only what you're interested in. We highly recommend all passengers join it to get the fastest updates and responses directly from us! Be sure to check our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates on all our activities, as well as announcements of smaller/informal trips, and feel free to reach out over DM if you're interested in a private charter for a specific mission. Thanks!
