Apparently only 1 of the 2 engines needed re started

Bloody hell tested to destruction.

Won’t be long before they get it right

Love how the next one is sat there just waiting (without engines). Properly conveyor belting these things in stages.

Unbelievable how they keep building them, what they doing next with it low earth orbit?

Some are various non flying test beds I think too. Hard to keep up.

That will need the main stage adding I would imagine

Main booster is being built too

You won't be able to land on Mars without better landing gear than that. Far to small and unable to cope with ground movement.
