How This Answer Works
“Today” is the calendar day in Central time, the time zone of Starbase. The page rebuilds every five minutes from the newest launch feed and closure readings we hold. Those readings update several times a day, not every minute.
“Yes” means SpaceX has a liftoff time for today. “Maybe” means today is the target day but SpaceX has published no time. A Starship launch can slip on the day, so check this page or the launch day live page before you drive out.
The launch date comes from The Space Devs Launch Library 2. The closures come from the City of Starbase. The full set of live readings is on Starbase status.
