Things moving faster at SpaceX Texas

Power with Control
Giant rockets being moved around like they are in a Richard Scarry "Welcome to Rocket Town" book. The one on the left is most likely the first one to launch but is only being stacked for fueling Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) right now, most likely. The one on the right is most likely being staged for cryogenic proof testing before fueling and static engine firing. The motor doing the heavy lifting on the right was scavenged from a deep ocean drilling rig




If, and its an if, they can pull off the inital launch in November, they have the second set of test articles ready to follow up very quickly. Booster SN 8 is over 90% complete, and Ship 25 is the one on the right in this video........
