All this could have been avoided by following standard industry practice of doing full up(all engines), full mission length, and full power static testing of stages.

It is clear and evident you do not understand the arguments that prove this assumption to be false. You keep bringing it up as fact despite repeated, thorough, and well-researched posts that show it to be a falsehood. Do you even acknowledge that those arguments were written? Are you capable of addressing even one of those points? If not, it should be time to re-evaluate your assumption. Or are you just unwilling? If so, what differentiates your endless harping on the subject from outright trolling?

Well that's a cool coincidence. The line for LC-39A and where I'm watching goes over my university's Space Science center.

Docking and prop transfer demo will use Starship V3- so definitely won't meet the Q1 2025 goal, and probably not this year either. However, HLS will remain V2 derived, so if the refueling flights use V3, fewer launcher will be needed to refuel the smaller V2.

So there was a post about politics and those of you who saw the replies were no doubt reminded why we've had to rule the subject off-limits for this forum. Some comments removed.
