Musk:
[Booster 7] test went well.

NASASpaceflight:
‍Super! How many repeat/incremental increase (number of engines) static fire tests do you predict until the full set 33 if all goes to plan?

Musk:
Next test is ~20 sec firing with max oxygen fill to test autogenous pressurization, possibly one more static fire, then orbital launch attempt
