Default SN5 about to get wet, and maybe glow

Snidely was thinking very hard :
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.


Finally got wet and glowing on Thursday, with a hop flight perhaps
early next week.
