TL;DR Summary

SpaceX is preparing for Flight Three with the rollout of Ship 28 to Suborbital Pad B. Ship 28 will undergo engine testing and upgrades, while Booster 10 has received its Hot Stage Ring and is being staged for rollout. The testing campaign for Ship 28 and Booster 10 is expected to be condensed, with a focus on cryo proof, engine spin prime, and static fire tests. SpaceX is aiming for a short preflight test campaign to support future missions, such as NASA's Human Landing System campaigns. The Orbital Launch Pad and Orbital Tank Farm are also undergoing upgrades to improve efficiency and loading capability. Future flights will involve additional ships and boosters, with plans for a new version of the Starship. The construction of a new High Bay at the production site will further increase SpaceX's ship and booster production capacity.
