A few hours ago SN4 hit a major milestone. After days and nights of testing and adjusting their equipments they did the first static fire of a Raptor engine on a starship prototype. Here a short video with some slo mo sequences.
It may not look like much to you but there have been camera teams out all night for three nights to catch it. You can hear their excitement in the background.
This is one engine for a test fire. SN4 has attachment points for 3 engines but it won't get more than one even for the planned short hop. The next build SN5 is nearly finished and will get 3 engines. But it will take a while to get the necessary permits from the FAA. To launch with more propellant they will need the few remaining inhabitants of Boca Chica village moved out.
The first stage for this rocket will get 31 engines of that type.
Hopefully the FAA will be a little more supportive now that NASA has contracted Starship for a manned Moon landing mission. At least for the first steps of building that lander. Even then NASA acknowledging that Starship exists and may fly with crew is a huge step. One that nobody expected NASA to take so soon.
