Spaceflight Now's @w_robinsonsmith provides an update on Starship’s pad buildout at Florida’s LC-39A and when we may see first launch. "We've seen some water deluge tests that have happened over the last few months, some actuation with the umbilicals there in the heart of the tower, some additional outfitting to the very top of it. So it's coming along nicely." "And in fact, just earlier today, the transport barge that's used to shuttle Starship equipment to and from Starbase, Texas left Port Canaveral today." "So potentially considering that they've already delivered some of the mobile stands for the booster and for the ship upper stage, there's a chance that the next time it comes back, it could include flight hardware for the first launch out of here from Florida." "And there's been some hope that they could accomplish the first launch by the end of this year." "It seems like that might slip into 2027. But it's hard to bet against SpaceX's timeline."
