This is CBS. I'm John Batchock, Tbokertchika, Texas with Bob Zimmerman who keeps the website

behind the black SpaceX preparing for the next test of Starship on Super Heavy. Bob,

they produce these Starships to go on to a super heavy in an assembly line. This is

number 25. What is its status? Good evening to you. Good evening John. Well, when SpaceX conducts

its next orbital test launch of Super Heavy Starship, the Super Heavy will be prototype number 9

and the Starship will be prototype number 25. They've got more in the assembly line,

but these are the ones they're going to use. And the Muskets said they've made up to a

more than a thousand upgrades. That sounds like a big number, but this is like a

problem. It's been routine from test to test. How many changes that make it? They figure out what

went wrong and what the fix. And in the process of preparing for that next launch, they did a

six-second static fire test. You have six of the six engines in the Starship prototype number

25 this week. Then I was at the put it on a launch pad. This is not the actual orbital launch pad,

but it's a test launch pad they use in Boca Chica. They put it on there and they did a

address rehearsal fueling and countdown and they fired the engines, all six engines for six seconds.

A few seconds, I'm attributing work. And it did. So that's procedure as normal for SpaceX because

they like to do static fire tests before launch. And once they stack Starship, they can't do

any more static fire tests. So they wanted to do it before they stack it. They'll probably

proceed to make some more tweaks and then they'll stack it on Super Heavy, move everything out

to the launch pad and do another static fire test. This time was super heavy. And Musk has said

that they will be ready to launch in August. He did also indicate one significant change in how

they're doing their stage separations. And this is something the Russians do routinely, but American

companies very rarely do. When Russian Soyuz rockets, when the first and second stage are going to
