If the next Starship makes it through staging, you can call that a win

From Ars Technica:
"SpaceX will have answers to some burning questions in the first three minutes of the next Starship test flight. Did the upgrades to the Starship launch pad in Texas hold up to the rocket's powerful thrust? Are the rocket's Raptor engines more reliable than they were on the first Starship test flight in April? And did the rocket's Super Heavy booster safely separate from the Starship upper stage?"

The second Starship test flight could happen as soon as next week, perhaps as early as Monday morning,

Exciting stuff!
