Preparations are underway for the next milestone for the Starship program, following the stacking of Ship 20 atop Booster 4. For the third time, the second using the Mechazilla chopstick system, Starbase has a full-stack at the Orbital Launch Site, this time setting up a cryoproofing test with both the Booster and Ship stacked together.
With Booster 7 waiting in the wings, along with sections for Booster 8 and 9, the current duo is paving the way for a potential orbital flight test, likely with one of the future stacks.
Meanwhile, groundwork at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) continues apace, focusing on the launch tower that will rise out of the ground at the historic LC-39A.
