Re: SpaceX StarHopper Flight: August 26th
As reported by [Business Insider]:
It seems an attempted 200 meter test flight for the StarHopper is still on and set for Monday, considering all the permit wrangling with the FAA with local concerns. This will however be the StarHoppers last flight before being retired, with the Starship update still scheduled for mid-september'ish. It seems that local officials have handed out printed pamphlets to residents warning them of potential risks to health and safety, in the event of a malfunction which could cause an overpressure event and shatter peoples windows, residents are instructed to vacate the area or at a minimum leave their homes 10 minutes prior when law enforcement will issue a warning siren to avoid any risk of injury. "Overpressure event" in this case meaning a blastwave caused by a rapid explosion.
Currently there doesn't appear to be any official webcast, however there are a few unofficial third party sources camped near the launch site set to stream the event. One such webcast is [here], and is set to start in 16 hours as of this post. Be warned that this may not be the exact time of launch, or there may be further delays. He says that he'll start streaming once the fuel starts loading.
