SpaceX - Starship Integrated Flight Test #4
SH11/SS29 from Starbase TX

SpaceX: "Launch rehearsal for Flight 4 complete"

Elon Musk: "Starship Flight 4 in about 2 weeks.

Primary goal is getting through max reentry heating.

Worth noting that no one has ever succeeded in creating a fully reusable heat shield. Shuttle required >6 months of rework."

Note: No FAA launch license yet.

NASA: "NASA, Boeing, and ULA (United Launch Alliance) scrubbed today’s launch opportunity due to the computer ground launch sequencer not loading into the correct operational configuration after proceeding into terminal count. The ULA team is working to understand the cause."
