Starship Flight Test (Launch in 1 hour)
The end is nigh: Mr. E. Musk was reasonable and sensible while talking about starship first flight, "if it goes far enough from the launch pad before something goes wrong, it will be a success".

He's always set low expectations for test launches.

I like SpaceX Musk a lot more than Twitter Musk. It feels almost like this past year never happened.

He has always set (intentionally?) low expectations regarding launches.

Not for Falcon 1. He said he believes they have 90% chance of a successful launch.
After that they had 3 failed launches and company almost went bankrupt.

Good point. He probably learned his lesson (at least for launches) from that point on.
