Apart from the Falcon 9 line, the rest is pretty much obvious.
>B7 should be rolling out next week
Road closure
>Ship 24 will do a six-engine test to confirm everything is good
That's obvious, after recent modifications.
>“End of year message from our team leader (at SpaceX) said to enjoy Starship’s debut “In January””
Elon time
>Launch license is actively being worked on and is almost done.
>FAA needs data from the 33 engine test and a full stack WDR to determine hazard zones
Also obvious, based on NASA presentation.
>Ironically, the biggest reason for the Starbase slowdown is Gwynne Shotwell. The push is to make Starship development more like Falcon 9. The reason? Lots of stupid mistakes in Starship dev in the past due to their “dude send it lol” mentality
No shit, the methane tank saga proves that.
>SpaceX and NASA are hoping B7S24 actually makes it to orbit instead of just “getting data”
For me, it looks like they're setting the expectation low. No Starship during hop failed during the ascent and Booster lights up fine, so it seems like the most dangerous point might be stage separation, which can't be tested on the ground.

So how much did you pay?
