TL;DR Summary

SpaceX successfully conducted a static fire test of Ship 29's 6 Raptor engines at Starbase, with plans for another test simulating a de-orbit burn. The next step involves stacking Ship 29 on Booster 11 for a Wet Dress Rehearsal before the 4th test flight, which may occur as soon as May. Booster 4 was scrapped, while at least 6 other boosters and 8 Starships are in various stages of production. The FAA considers the 3rd test flight a success, with no major delays expected for the 4th test flight.
