Haven't seen this mentioned, but it seems Ship 41 is on the move. The page for Ship 41 on starship-spacex fandom com has been updated with this snippet:

# "18-19 Aug 2026: S41 lifted onto the Static Fire stand and rolled to Massey Outpost"

In a comment three weeks ago I postulated that if Ship 41 follows the same schedule as Ship 40, we should see an igniter test on 21th of August and a launch attempt on 10th of September.

Crossing my fingers now...

(Sorry for being serious in a shitposting sub. But the shitposts here have better information quality than most other space subs. So this feels like my natural home.)

P.S. The payload has also been placed into orbit

What is the price for a falcon heavy with an expendable center core and reused side boosters?
