Facts

1. Super Heavy Booster 9 conducted a static fire, marking a significant milestone in SpaceX's upcoming launches.
2. The booster was hoisted onto the Orbital Launch Mount and underwent final pre-launch tests, including the FireX system.
3. SpaceX's test campaign has been progressing smoothly, with the booster nearly full due to the need to counterbalance the enormous thrust of the Super Heavy.
4. The booster's nose cone lifting points were covered with heat tiles, a significant change in the build process.
5. The second production tent at Starbase was dismantled, marking a necessary evolution towards Starship's mass production.
6. The construction process for the Starships began with one-half being assembled in the Mid Bay, followed by the second half, which were then moved to the High Bay for mating.
7. Crew 7 successfully docked with the ISS, marking the conclusion of Crew 6's mission.
8. Crew 7's departure to space was postponed by a day due to various factors, including bad weather conditions and potential collision risks with space debris.
9. Rocket Lab successfully launched a reused, silver-coated Electron rocket on a mission called "We Love The Nightlife."
10. The next Electron launch will feature nine reused Rutherford engines, marking significant milestones in Rocket Lab's journey towards reusability.
