the hot staging separation rings at 00:46 is stuff of movies

I was wrong, it wasn't a commercial flight, just another test

SpaceX is going to launch Starship on Friday, the tallest rocket ever built, this will be the first non-test commercial launch with a payload , Starship is 400 foot tall or about the height of a 40 stories tall building

The speed with which these tests/developments are occurring is incredible.

The Apollo 11 crew had to file a customs declaration

Any other condition on board which may lead to the spread of disease: TO BE DETERMINED

Nothing to declare, except for some rocks Neil and Buzz picked up from the ground. You know how these two love their rocks.
