Ship 42 has completed both its single- and six-engine static fire tests, paving the way for Flight 15 in November. These events occurred during a busy period at Starbase that included Ship 43 testing ahead of Flight 16.

ICYMI: the International Space Station was seen crossing in front of the Moon earlier this morning from Florida’s Space Coast (left image, taken by me).

@astro_anil was also looking down from the station around the same time and caught the Florida peninsula lit by the near-full moon (right image).
