Everyday Astronaut's full broadcast for the Starship Flight 13 launch attempt, scrubbed before liftoff. The pre-launch coverage goes over what SpaceX was after with this mission: the second flight of a V3 Starship and the deployment of the first operational Starlink V3 satellites, on another sub-orbital profile with objectives close to Flight 12's and full reuse as the longer-term goal.
