rocket landing off of Hawaii - kalianna - 04-02-2023
I donʻt know this website so canʻt vouch for authenticity but I wonder if weʻll be able to see this.

It’s legit.
Launch is tentatively planned for April 20.

I'll try and update everyone if anything becomes visible from Hawaii. It's impossible to do that until after the launch as you don't have the orbital elements (orbit information) or times beforehand.

Story filed April 1.
"In Thrust we Trust". Really?
"Elon Musk said his team was targeting April 20 (4/20)..." 420. Really?
Musk unveiled his plans for this rocket, which he originally called "BFR", or "Big Falcon Rocket". (Bold by me)
Gimme a break. So sick of this guy...

Were you sick of him before the Twitter debacle or was that what did it for you?
RE: rocket landing off of Hawaii - Chas - 04-02-2023
Oh, well before the Twitter thing...

The test will happen, it’s been in the works for a long time. Even if/maybe Musk’s post joked about the specific dates. Scroll down linked page for background:

I heart, Elon Musk.

An update on the BFR SpaceX rocket that will splashdown north of Hawaii:
sources told Ars Technica that Starship could launch as early as Monday, April 10, adding that SpaceX may be getting its coveted launch license from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the first two weeks of April.

We have a perfectly good spaceport built exactly for this purpose in lower Puna. I can’t fathom why we aren’t using this. True, it’s not in the ocean but a slight tweak and you can just set it down in Kehena, to be welcomed back to Earth with a drum circle and sacred touching.
