"SpaceX Super Heavy Booster Test Prepares for Starship Flight"
TL;DR
SpaceX conducted a static fire test of the Super Heavy booster ahead of its fourth test flight, igniting all 33 Raptor engines for around 7 to 8 seconds. The company will now review the data to determine whether another static fire is needed or if the booster is ready for the upcoming test flight, which could take place as early as next month. Additionally, the spacecraft Ship 29 is undergoing final checkouts before being stacked on top of Booster 11 for a wet dress rehearsal before launch.
