Good update on the Starship programme after the ISS mission report.

Damage to Starship 8 during the engine test was due to spalling from a ceramic heat shield on pipes the ground below which couldn’t take the thrust. Now replaced with steel sheathing instead. Build on Starships 9-14 continuing - and first parts for Starship 15 have arrived...
