SpaceX Tests the Full Stack of the Fourth Starship Flight Test

SpaceX is testing Ship 29 and Booster 11 on the Orbital Launch Mount. Based on the absense of regulatory documents, it is assumed that this will be a partial tanking test, ahead of a Wet Dress Rehearsal, a few days later.

Wanting to skip ahead for the exciting part but needing to listen to all of it for the speculations and updates

Good team. Expert commentary by Ryan and Adrian. Ryan's aerospace experience is invaluable and great dialog. Adrian's podcast experience provides many data points. It's great hearing from two writers. Good direction and hosting by Ryan Caton. Thank you for the livestream coverage.

You are so very right! The commentary was kind of calm and quiet which fit the test itself. They did a great job answering new questions with careful thought and discussion! I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience!

[@DebraJean196]

Partial tanking test is a perfectly descriptive name!

[@addickland5656]

Honestly this felt like SpaceX's way to do a WDR in all but name while skirting the prop loading limits to avoid some paperwork. Probably/hopefully means they will be more confident that full WDR and subsequent launch will go smoothly and that both will happen soon and in quick succession. Fingers crossed.

Just gotta get tiles finished

9 metres is only 1 metre short of the width of your local swimming pool. If you put starship in a spin - You could literally have a swimming pool on your journey to Mars. 😮

Nice little raptor side today 🙂

anyone have the time stamp???? jfc gotta watch 2.5 hours to find it?

[@DebraJean196]

It’s not like a static fire. It’s a partial fueling test, so we’ll probably just see the vehicles getting frosty then unfrosty, no real “action” timestamp

Me and my brother did this 50yrs ago with the rotary phone

I'm betting on Monday , May 27th ; as SpaceX Flight #4 Launch day...

[@DebraJean196]

Don’t know if they can get tile work done before then. Especially if they lose more tiles during full pressure WDR. Also don’t have FAA approval yet. It would be super cool if it was that soon though.

[@mgtowpeterson4026]

Will it finally go to the moon? Can it take 50 tons with it?

[@Mike-tv9rk]

Can it take DT too.
