SpaceX takes a near final step before launch<\/h2>\n

Just after midnight on Friday morning, SpaceX stacked its Starship 25 on top of its Super Heavy Booster 9. Each time SpaceX completes these stacks we get closer and closer to seeing this rocket fly for the second time.<\/p>\n

After completing the stack, SpaceX shared via X (formally Twitter) that they company is working towards getting ready to fly \u201cas early as November 17.\u201d Of course that is still pending approval by the FAA.<\/p>\n

The reason why we believe SpaceX is getting very close to launching is because we saw flight termination system (FTS) explosives being installed Thursday before stacking. This is all handled before the vehicle is stacked as it\u2019s easier to reach where these explosives are to be installed than when they\u2019re in the air. Are they armed? We aren\u2019t sure. Most likely they are not as we do expect SpaceX to destack at least one more time before launching.<\/p>\n
