Default SN5 about to get wet, and maybe glow

From teslarati.com:
quote
Delayed from July 8th and 10th, Starship SN5’s first Raptor static fire
is now scheduled no earlier than ~10 am CDT (~15:00 UTC) on Monday,
July 13th.

If things go well during those nominally back-to-back tests, public
road closure filings show that SpaceX wanted to attempt the first
full-scale Starship hop just three days later, although the recent
two-day delay adds a bit of uncertainty.

Let's hope all the test procedures are in good shape and the testers as
well.
