First Starship To Take Flight Leaves The Launch Site - SpaceX Weekly #131

This week at Starbase, while teams continue their work on the chopsticks around the clock, Starhopper is removed from the launch site, Test Tank 16 is cryo tested at the Massey Outpost, and Ship 31 is sent there to begin its static fire test campaign. Meanwhile, over in Florida, Falcon 9 returns to flight, Blue Origin shows off their New Glenn landing barge, and Space Perspective picks up their Space Gondola capsule and heads out to sea.

I wonder if Hoppy will get more care since she been looking bit raggity.

The successful SN15 was more significant then the so called hopper. In fact, the hopper was actually a waste of time, and had no purpose other then showcasing the new raptor.
