Still no news on the launch date though.
​​​​​​​

Kathy Lueders provided an update on Starbase on 14th. Here are the key points she made:

Starship's IFT-4 licence is expected the last week of May or possibly early June….

IFT-4 wet dress rehearsal should be done in the next week. It was delayed due to an issue with Ship 31 during its testing.

Road closures from 28th May through first week in June. Possible launch on 1st June.
Going to be tough to catch sight of this one.

Starship and Super Heavy loaded with more than 10 million pounds of propellant in a rehearsal ahead of Flight 4.

Launch is targeted as early as June 5, pending regulatory approval.
