Just thought I'd share these images released by SpaceX after Starship Serial No. 24 and Super Heavy Booster 7 were stacked for the first time at Starbase in Texas yesterday.

The last time Starship Super Heavy was fully assembled atop the Orbital Launch Mount was earlier this year...with Starship 20 and Booster 4 on the pad.

In other Starship news, Dennis Tito—an American entrepreneur who became the first space tourist to visit the International Space Station via Russia's Soyuz capsule in 2001—will fly around the Moon (along with his wife Akiko) on the vehicle's second flight. Click here for more details.
