Ship 21's Aft Dome Sleeved | SpaceX Boca Chica

As Ship 20 prepares for its first tests, SpaceX is already hard at work on the next Starship vehicle, Ship 21. Its Aft Dome, the mounting point for six Raptor engines, was sleeved. Meanwhile, work continues on the Catch Arms and more Cryo Tank Shells appear to be ready to roll out soon.
