Construction of SN2 has already begun and later builds are expected in quick succession and with <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1230642008257069056">aggressive design itteration</a>. SN1 or SN2 is expected to make a 20 km hop <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1210756338348744705">in the coming months</a>, and Elon aspires to an orbital flight of a Starship with full reuse by the end of 2020.Over the past few months the facilities at Boca Chica have seen substantial improvements including several <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1219858516619358208">large fabric buildings</a> and a "<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1230439298874343424">high Bay</a>" for stacking and welding hull sections.
