Starship Thrust Simulator Installed On Suborbital Pad A (Then Removed) | SpaceX Boca Chica

SpaceX crews installed, and then promptly removed, the Starship Thrust Simulator. The simulator is used to stress Starship's aft dome during cryo proof tests by simulating Raptor engine thrust. Meanwhile, girders were installed for the new factory building.
