Thread for PLD Space's first launch. I think there is a mistake in the Twitter post. I believe the launch window starts at 31 May (not 30 May) at 8 am local (06:00 UTC). The YouTube stream is counting down to 31 May at 03:30 UTC (5:30 am local). Also, I believe it is not CET (Central European Time at UTC+1 hour) but CEST (Central European Summer Time at UTC+2 hours).

More information from PLD Space CEO. The issue is with a GSE tank not providing liquid oxygen to the vehicle at the rates they expect. Count is in a hold in order to investigate.

This is what Elon could have named the first StarShip launch, "A technology Demonstrator".

From video:
The objective of this first flight of the MIURA 1 SN1 technological demonstrator will consist of gathering the greatest volume of information possible to continue validating a large part of the design and the technology and processes that will later be transferred and integrated into the development of MIURA 5. The objective of this first flight of the MIURA 1 SN1 technology demonstrator will be to gather as much information as possible to further validate much of the design and technology that will later be transferred and integrated into MIURA 5"
