Ship 30 Ready for Next Static Fire | SpaceX Boca Chica

Ship 30 has been rolled out to Massey's test site for a second static fire in preparation for Starship Flight 5. Ship 30 has recently had its entire heat shield replaced to mitigate some issues seen on Flight 4.

Can't wait to see Block 2 of Starship!

I can't be the only one that thinks the static fire test stand that Ship 30 is on looks absolutely badass...

[slevinshafel]

5:34 nice charger "donkeykong" i like that wheels in fabrique.

[rigomrtz]

The scale of the tower when the 2 guy are working on the chopsticks 😮

[scottymoondogjakubin]

This is an engineering feat unlike anyother ever in the history of space and spaceflight ! My mind is 💢 away at the progress of starbase on the daily !

[davidlewis]

Block two is going to be awesome especially if the flaps and tile issues are resolved.

[royjacobs]

@5:29 Love the Donkey Kong SPMT, It probably has a lift inside to "raise it's hands".

[mikegardner]

You have a great list of the time line. Can you please keep the timer in the lower left corner visible all the time so we don’t have to keep tapping the screen to check it?

[Pintuuuxo]

Starbase... it will surely be a beautiful place to work or just to be. And... what if the 4th Falcon 1 launch had been a failure? 😊

[ryer]

5:08 pouring in the tower's concrete with buckets?! Can anyone explain me why?

[fordrock]

"Donkey Kong" seen moving Raptors!!

[lennyjames]

isnt S30 the ship which got its whole heatshield replaced?
WOW that happened quickly. Or maybe im not paying attention…

[ptolomeios]

Any news on falcon 9 return to flight ?
