SpaceX's Starship: Push for Summer Replay and Major Update Expected in 2 Months.

SpaceX is preparing for the next Starship test flight with the upgraded Booster 9 and Ship 25, which is currently awaiting a six-engine static fire test. The focus of the next test will be on first stage flight with the booster, and the reduction of pad flow is a theme for Starship, with the ambition of launching on a daily basis from the same pad in future years. SpaceX is also installing a water-cooled steel plate and deluge system under the orbital launch mount to avoid the flying concrete of the maiden launch.
