With a full stack #Starship on the pad at Starbase, testing is set to get moving this week as #SpaceX aims to put a full load of methane & oxygen into Booster 7 & Ship 24 for the first time. Then, static fire time!

But there's still a lot of work ahead👇…

‍We are proceeding very carefully. If there is a RUD on the pad, Starship progress will be set back by ~6 months.

@ChrisG_NSF We are proceeding very carefully. If there is a RUD on the pad, Starship progress will be set back by ~6 months.

‍For this reason, it seems to me that a likely outcome is that SpaceX gets as much test data out of Booster 7 as possible, and then ends up launching with Booster 9 or higher on the orbital flight. Better boosters are coming along quickly.
