SpaceX has moved out its 31st Starship upper stage to the launch site ahead of Flight 6, expected on November 18. This ship has seen a few changes compared to what came before it but is only the tip of the iceberg for what is to come next.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/em><\/strong> Starship Flight 6: SpaceX launches a banana into space<\/em><\/p>\n

SpaceX is gearing up for its next launch of its Starship rocket next Monday. The latest movement closer to that mission was Ship 31 being moved out to the launch site Monday night.<\/p>\n

Ship 31 is like all previous launch-ready Starship upper stages that have come before it, except for a few changes. One big change was the removal of some heat shield tiles on the side of the vehicle. This was noted in a SpaceX blog post about making the ship compatible with being caught by the launch tower.<\/p>\n
