It may be hot in South Texas but Starship Booster 23 was nice as frosty over at Massey's, as it underwent an extended cryo test over the course of 12 hours yesterday, as part of its pre-launch testing campaign.

On this day in 1957, the Soviet Union successfully launched the first-ever human-made object to orbit the Earth.
Sputnik 1 launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and remained operational for 21 days, sending an easy-to-track radio signal.
The spacecraft burned up on January 4, 1958, when it re-entered Earth's atmosphere.

Battle of the Builds #12#
Blue Origin has started going vertical again at LC-36. The modified launch tower stacking has begun in hopes of launching by end of year.
Relativity has almost completed stacking the second lightning tower. They also finished painting the water tower white.
Blue Origin continues progress on the Vertical Integration Facility. The PPF construction may be visible soon but possibly not from this location. I'll keep an eye on that.
Honorable mention for Starship 37A since they were the first to achieve stacking goals.

Starship Booster 21 may have intentionally targeted a splashdown in the Gulf, but SpaceX used the opportunity to run a partial simulated "catch" test, as the pad deluge system was activated in sync of when the booster completed the landing burn. While the chopsticks did not move this time, this should give valuable data ahead of the first Pad 2 catch on a upcoming flight.

SpaceX is showing no signs of slowing down, and is busy preparing for Flight 15, less then a day after Flight 14 concluded. With teams lifting the new work stand into the OLM, this new stand will allow teams quick and safe access to all parts of the mount without the need for scaffolding.

I know no one might care about this, but if Starship goes orbital on Monday it'll be 18 years after Falcon 1 first reached orbit. It was SpaceX's 4th launch overall.
