Bad news, weed nerds, it looks like the maiden voyage of the spaceship will not involve a joke.
In his typical reply guy fashion, Musk told a fan that the company's first-ever orbital launch wouldn't involve the company's Booster 4 and Ship 20 vessels.
The preoccupation with the number is something Musk has had for a long time. One eagle-eyed spaceflight fan noticed that two Raptor engines were next to each other on the underside of a prototype of a spaceship. Musk claimed that it was a coincidence that they were parked next to each other, but fans of the company hoped that this Easter egg meant that the first flight of the Starship would take the weed number out into space.
That doesn't include Musk's spat with the SEC after he said he was taking the company private at $420 per share.
Sometimes the expectation doesn't line up with reality. Some of the best meme about the Starship disappointment are here.
Points were made.
Megamind is sad.
He gave them something to cry about.
starship 420 will always be remembered and will go down in starship history with all the other legends. Starhopper, SN5, SN8, SN15, B3, and i feel it is time to welcome 2 new vehicles into the list, B4 and S20. I feel it is now that time to move onto newer and better things

If we ever saw one, it was an apt commemoration.
