TL;DR Summary

SpaceX has completed a successful static fire test of its next Starship rocket, Ship 28, in South Texas. The test of the rocket's six engines appeared to be nominal, and both the rocket and ground support equipment were undamaged. The booster for the next launch attempt, Booster 10, has been rolled to the launch site and will undergo a static fire test soon. The upcoming flight, Integrated Flight Test 3, aims to fly further and perform a controlled landing into the ocean north of Kauai, Hawaii. The launch is expected to take place in the first quarter of next year. Regulatory approval for the launch is still pending.
