SpaceX fires all six Starship engines in prep for Flight 13

TL;DR Summary
SpaceX conducted a full six-engine static-fire on Ship 40 at Starbase, Texas, running three sea-level and three vacuum Raptors for about 60 seconds as it gears up for Starship Flight 13. The test follows a prior single-engine firing and aims to mirror much of Flight 12’s profile, including a possible relight in orbit. Next steps include rolling the Super Heavy booster out for its own tests, with Flight 13 potentially launching as early as August.
