SpaceX Boca Chica - SN8 Single Engine Static Fire Test

SN8 conducted the first ever static fire of a fully stacked Starship, using a single Raptor engine. Debris seen flying is most likely from the pad and not a concern in terms of Raptor performance. Work on SN9 Continued, several loads of equipment were delivered to the gas well lot, and new nosecones with flap installation hardware were spotted inside their fabrication tent.
