Visiting SpaceX Starbase for Starship Launch #7

We decided to take a detour down to the Rio Grande Valley to try to catch Starship's launch #7. With a reservation at Isla Blanca Park's campground a the tip of South Padre Island for a couple of days, we kept extending as the launch was delayed.

Join us for our amazing visit to Starbase for an upclose view of Starship, build up to the launch, an amazing launch and catch of the booster as seen from our front row van parking and then our next day reaction!

And absolutely mind blowing experience we highly recommend for any space nerd!

Please note.. While we don't support with the CEO of SpaceX .. we are space nerds and track mobile internet for a living over at the Mobile Internet Resource Center. This launch was prior to the inauguration as well. We have a full guide on Alternatives to Starlink for those who prefer to avoid it available at: https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/guid...

We're Cherie & Chris and we've been full time technomads since 2006. We are owned by Kiki (meow).

We have a fleet of nomadic vessels that we split our time between - a 1961 GM 4106 vintage bus, a 1999 Bayliner 4788 motor yacht and a 2020.5 Travato GL van conversion. You'll find RV, van and boat life content here, as we feel inspired to share - sometimes topical, sometimes travelogues, sometimes just hanging out.

We love sharing a slice of our life with others, and also blog at https://www.technomadia.com, Facebook and Instagram. We use the name 'Technomadia' in all those places. Come join the adventure however you choose!

Income generation is NOT a goal of ours under the 'Technomadia' brand - we do this for fun.

Our full time 'job' is running the Mobile Internet Resource Center, where we track and educate RVers and cruisers on their options for keeping connected. Come join us at http://www.RVMobileInternet.com for news, guides, reviews and courses. We also have a dedicated YouTube channel    / mobileinternetresourcecenter   you can subscribe to. Through member funding, we can give away a lot of free content - and our members get even more.
