Ship 25 rolls out, B9/S25 fully stacking today!



video from Great Spacex channel

The video says that there may be a static fire with the second stage on top, but is that accurate? Don't know where they get their info, so I take that one with a grain of salt. But the thing is, with more mass sitting atop of the thing, a static fire can be more powerful. Such a scenario could give a more rigorous test of the launch mount improvements.

The comments section of the video had one comment that said a full stack static fire may not be a good idea. I guess we'll have to see when it all happens.

There will be a full wet dress rehearsal, which is one of the final boxes to check off prior to a launch. Haven't heard anything from the FAA, so it could all be moot anyhow.
