TL;DR Summary

SpaceX successfully conducted a static fire test with its Starship upper-stage prototype, Ship 28, as it prepares for the third test flight in the coming weeks. Ship 28 completed a full-duration static fire with all six of its Raptor engines. The Starship consists of a first-stage booster called Super Heavy and an upper-stage spacecraft known as Starship, both powered by SpaceX's next-generation Raptor engine. The previous two test flights encountered issues, but SpaceX aims to get Starship aloft again soon pending a launch license from the Federal Aviation Administration.
