SpaceX Boca Chica - SN7.1 Test Tank Rolled Out For Testing

Following SN6's return to the build site, SN7.1 was rolled out to the launch site for testing. SN7.1 uses a new type of steel and newer manufacturing techniques than its predecessor test tank, SN7. It is expected to be tested to destruction, similarly to SN7.

Man everyday space x is moving forward at 100 miles a second with progress! I almost feel like I'm watching the movie armageddon. for 25 years space exploration has pretty much came to a halt than in 2020 in the middle of a pandemic! we are making up 25 years in 1 year! anyone else thinks this is odd ><
