    So when are they going to spark that joint?

    I wonder if they can even attempt a static fire of all 29?

    It's looking like it might happen in a couple weeks. Still working on infrastructure.

    The launch pad is big, but doesn't seem like it has clamps that would hold that kind of power down. There is some other mystery structure they've been building with massive hydraulic rams, could be a static fire mount.

    Their last couple of static fires might not have even been that long.

    Could be the hydraulic rams are another system to cushion the landing.

    Iirc falcons were seeing 3-8 second firings. I don't think starship has seen more than 1-2 seconds.

    Hook it up to the back of a Tundra. Call it a reverse towing demonstration.

    Boeing needs to clean house. Not sure if it’s possible though with that much rot.
