SpaceX just attempted to ignite all 33 engines in a test fire of its gargantuan Super Heavy rocket booster. The trial marks the company’s first “static fire” test for what is expected to be the most powerful launch vehicle ever built. The Super Heavy booster started its engines for less than 10 seconds while still strapped to the launchpad.
“There will always be work to do there,” Shotwell said Wednesday, referring to the FAA licensing process. “I think we’ll be ready to fly right at the time frame that we get the license.” Shotwell acknowledged the tendency to share unmet deadlines for launches in her remarks when discussing SpaceX’s goal of getting the first Starship mission to Mars. “We’re so bad at guessing time frame. … For sure, this decade we will be landing people on the moon. For sure. If not a few years from now.

Kim Jong Un must be feeling frisky when he sees this.
I am sorry. I can't watch an SpaceX content, until they free up the starlink's to Ukraine. They need them for their defense against the Russian invasion.
Then there's Jeff Bezos spaceship 'Fallus 1'.
I think he should be restricted from NASA launch pads until he quits messing with Starlink in Ukraine.
It's extraordinary 👍.
