After Monday's successful static fire test, SpaceX is in the final stretch of preparations for Starship's ninth full-scale test flight. The Super Heavy booster assigned to the next Starship launch will become the first that SpaceX will reuse from a previous test flight. SpaceX wants the Super Heavy booster and Starship upper stage to become rapidly reusable, eventually operating more like an airplane than a legacy rocket. SpaceX will again try to catch the Super Heavy booster on Flight 9. The company aimed for as many as 25 Starship test flights this year, but will now likely fall short of that number.
