Worth noting that Starship's plan to fly from Texas to Hawaii is eastward and not westward (as I understand it). So, at splashdown, they will have *almost* completed one orbit.Going through EV news this morning, I found this:
"... SpaceX targets to launch Starship no earlier than (NET) Monday, April 10, launch window that begins at 8:10 a.m. Central Time, with back-up launch opportunities also scheduled for April 11 and April 12."
"SpaceX plans to fly Starship from Texas to Hawaii during its debut orbital flight test."

Updade: the launch is rather expected "... the third week of April":
Just don't let it land on ya!We're planning to go out there on a boat and wave giant Biden flags like they do in Florida except with Trump flags.
How does one know if they have? (Asking for a friend... aw what the heck, yes, I don't have a clue!)April 17? Did the FAA give their blessing? I'll believe the date when the FAA gets their butt in gear!
Is that a wet dress rehearsal or an actual flight attempt? I guess we have to stay tuned to find out for sure?Live stream of the launch attempt starts in 13 hours.

Flight attempt. This is the real deal. Fingers crossed.Is that a wet dress rehearsal or an actual flight attempt? I guess we have to stay tuned to find out for sure?
It says 4 miles in here:I wonder what the minimum safe distance from this thing is... 5 miles, maybe?
