This is CBS, Iron the World, I'm John Bachelor. Behind the Black, Bob Zimmerman is here.

We're looking at Super Heavy Starship, the next test, and we're looking at a date, and we're looking at a date and we're looking at ambition and also changes

in two of the launch profiles for the Starship and for Super Heavy, maybe.

Bob, a very good evening to you.

What's the best date we've got so far for the next launch?

Oh, we don't have a day, John, but we're moving towards what looks like a good chance that SpaceX's prediction of early July or in July is going to be good.

I linked on behind the black to a good be good story from NASA Space Flight.

Describing in detail all the things that are going on at

at Boca Chico to prepare for the next flight.

The keys having to do with the Starship is there now replacing all 18,000 tiles.

The older tiles they put on the next prototype. They're going to replace them with different

tiles using a different formula that also includes some ablative material. Remember, the whole point

of all the testing with Starship right now has to do with getting it back

from orbit without damage, getting it to land in the ocean vertically, softly, without damage.

And they saw damage in the last flight.

So they got a, even though it did land,

come down, splash down in a vertical position,

it didn't come down in exactly the right spot and it wasn't it was damaged so

that's the main that's the main testing for Starship they got to get it back

on damage and so they're changing the tile systems try to improve it.

Right now the FAA has said that they're not doing an investigation, I put that in quotes,

because they just retype SpaceX's work work but they're not going to even do that this time the FAA said because if the SpaceX runs a flight profile similar to the March flight whereby super heavy lands in the Gulf of Mexico and
