I hope all goes well.
I can’t think of a more dangerous thing to do than first flight on a new rocket.

What’s wrong with the “reply” software these days???
In general Muskrat’s failure bring me joy, but he should not be allowed to beta test a rocket with astronauts aboard. His failures with safety at Tesla (fires, autopilot crashes) are bad enough.
Let’s hope the coming mission disappoints you.
I would be saddened if poor engineering cost any lives. The cars have been dangerous enough, this is why I don’t want to see aviation/space exploration rushed.
It’s my fervent hope the Musk organizations aeronautical engineering teams are more centered on success than their automotive teams.
A little quick research shows that Falcon 9 has had one in flight failure out of 86 launches. So it is high on the list in terms of reliability, but does not have a perfect record. I would go on that ride if I had the chance.
However, the Starship clown show in Boca Chica does make one wonder if they developed Falcon 9 under similar conditions. And, every time I watch an implosion video I have to wonder how in the heck it is going to withstand off-axis aerodynamic forces and other loads when transitioning from skydiving to tail landing.
