SpaceX
Two days ago, Starship Serial No. 24 (SN24) successfully fired all six of its Raptor 2 engines at Starbase in Texas.
This was a huge milestone for SpaceX's super heavy-lift launch vehicle...as it moves toward its first orbital test flight, which may or may not occur by the end of this year.
In the meantime, testing will continue on SN24 and Super Heavy Booster 7 at Starbase's suborbital and orbital launch sites. Though hopefully, future static fires won't lead to any more brush fires in the protected habitat near the Boca Chica facility!
Stay tuned.
S24 6 engine static fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
