remain full and pressurized for the belly flop flip and landing procedure as for the static fire testing of booster NUMBER_TOKEN we'll probably see an initial static fire of NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN raptor engines with spacex gradually building up the numbers until we see all NUMBER_TOKEN roaring it'll probably look like a much bigger and more epic version of the NUMBER_TOKEN merlin engine static fire for the falcon heavy seen here lots of logistics will need to be involved with such a massive static fire and eventually launch the vibrations from the noise alone could be very destructive to surrounding structures if not carefully suppressed with the water deluge system which i'm sure spacex will have completed in time for testing it doesn't look like there's too much of a wait for the first of booster NUMBER_TOKEN static fires spacex are reportedly targeting this week for the first test will it be three raptors or nine or something else what do you think let me know down below and hey while you're down there hit that like button it really helps support these videos and i always do appreciate it and subscribing if you're not already it will mean that you get these videos delivered straight to your sub box every monday so that you never miss out on any starship or space news updates anyway last week we saw booster NUMBER_TOKEN roll back out to the orbital launch pad where it was then subsequently mounted ready for its testing campaign spacex's target of static fire this week would be amazing to see but i think we have to have somewhat reserved expectations as a lot needs to happen before this engineers will need to complete the fuel propellant lines and finish the orbital fuel farm bring it to operational status and successfully test its systems and then there's the need to clear the launch area of construction equipment and install firewalls and berms separating the fuel farm from the launch table to protect stage zero in the event of an anomaly and of course there's the obvious issue of exposed propellant lines and trenches that are yet to be covered up booster NUMBER_TOKEN can't be tested until the fuel farm and its infrastructure are complete luckily the orbital tank farm is coming along very well last week gse tank NUMBER_TOKEN was sleeved and gse tank NUMBER_TOKEN is now tantalizingly close to completion brendan lewis never fails to supply us with these excellent overview diagrams of exactly what's happening down at starbase you can see that now booster NUMBER_TOKEN is out of the high bay spacex can now start using the high bay for booster NUMBER_TOKEN operations and given the rapid pace that spacex can build these things should anything happen to booster NUMBER_TOKEN that causes it to be pulled booster NUMBER_TOKEN will be able to take its place assuming that booster NUMBER_TOKEN will pass the tests and be used for the first orbital flight elon has mentioned on twitter that booster NUMBER_TOKEN will hopefully be the first super heavy that spacexl attempts to catch using the orbital launch tower mechazilla arms so it's very exciting to see spacex get closer to this goal i'm really looking forward to the day that we'll see multiple super heavy and ship stacks on separate launch pads i remember how crazy it was to see snNUMBER_TOKEN and snNUMBER_TOKEN both out on display together and seeing two gigantic full stack starships next to each other will be insane to a whole nother level eric created this amazing render of what starbase will potentially look like in NUMBER_TOKEN to which elon replied NUMBER_TOKEN showing real confidence there that
