the booster has been spin prime tested and static fired... then went back in for work

right now the booster is being lifted back onto the orbital launch mount... presumably with even more engines attached (maybe even all 33) for even more tests

Starship is also next to the orbital launch mount... seemingly ready to go on top of booster for this round of testing... which could possibly end with the 1st orbital flight test which could happen as soon as next month

Meanwhile, Artemis is getting pushed back without even firing...diversity and government money, an absolute joke.

There's an increasing possibility SpaceX gets to the moon before Artemis does .

Why are we spending money (and possibly lives) on Artemis again?

2 drones flying around the booster to make sure it's lined up on the pad right
