Just thought I'd share these official SpaceX images of Starship Serial No. 24 (SN24) being transported to the Orbital Launch Site (OLS) at Starbase in Texas.

SN24's rollout from Starbase's High Bay occurred on May 26, with the prototype vehicle beginning cryogenic testing at the OLS the very next day. It remains to be seen when Super Heavy Booster 7 will join Starship at the pad to undergo tests as well.

It also remains to be seen when the Federal Aviation Administration will publicize its final Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) that will decide when Starship's much-anticipated orbital test flight will occur. The expected release date for the PEA was May 31.

Happy Memorial Day weekend to my fellow Yanks!
