Here are official photos of the next Starship Super Heavy booster igniting all of its Raptor 2 engines during a full-duration, 8-second static fire at Starbase, Texas, earlier today.

Booster 12 will be rolled back to Starbase's production site to undergo further preps for SpaceX's Integrated Flight Test 5...which may launch sometime next month.
