TL;DR Summary

SpaceX has begun engine testing for Ship 25, the ship that will fly on the second launch of Starship, and is approaching the final stretch of completing the foundation work needed at the orbital launch mount (OLM) from where Super Heavy and Starship are set to lift off again no earlier than August. Work is also at a good pace to upgrade and update Starship’s production facilities at Starbase. However, plans for Starship in Florida have changed once more, with work on the second set of tower sections, chopsticks, carriage system, and QD arm at SpaceX’s Roberts Road facility coming to a halt.
