INSANELY Epic six-engine SpaceX Ship 25 static fire test ahead of IFT-2

BREAKING: Six second static fire of S25 completed. SpaceX's Ship 25 performed a static fire test just now in South Texas. It looked like a six-engine test. Ship 25 conducted what appeared to be a 6 engine static fire after a lengthy period of work on the vehicle. Starship 25 has seen many new structural enhancements, including hot staging. SpaceX is changing the approach for separating the two stages of its Starship vehicle to increase payload performance before its next test flight, Elon Musk said June 24. In an online discussion with Bloomberg journalist Ashlee Vance on Twitter, the social media company Musk owns, he said that SpaceX had recently decided to switch to a “hot-staging” approach where the Starship upper stage will ignite its engines while still attached to the Super Heavy booster. #SpaceX #StaticFire #Ship25
