Booster may have had a grid fin fail during its reentry... still was able to stay on course & make a successful splashdown in the Gulf

The funny thing with this one, the fake starlink hit the opening on the way out
Going to need a bigger opening or extend the rails maybe. Opening is large enough so probably cheaper to cleanup the delivery rails.

Not sure about Raptors...
But there's apparently only 1 flight left of Super Heavy Booster v1 & Starship v2
Booster v2 & Ship v3 should debut in the subsequent flight

There is one more Block 2 launch coming in September, which will be the last of the Block 2.
The assumption after that will be Block 2 booster and block 3 ship launching from Pad 2. Block 3 ships are designed around Raptor 3.
October is the earliest you will see it, but I could also see it slipping to November. You are almost back to ITF-1 level, it will be new booster, ship and launch pad all at once.

The new launch pad will be ready by October?

Honestly... not sure what all is left
Just looking at it from the cameras at the site... it's fully erected
I guess plumbing & wiring may need to be run & tested & maybe extra shielding put in place
Not sure about flame trench/water deluge etc.

SpaceX is doing some amazing things. They embarrass NASA, Boeing, etc at least once a week.

It has to be just the little things left like wiring and some plumbing for water and propellant. They have verified the chopsticks and tower with the water bag testing, so has to be the lower levels.
