    The next TX tower is starting to come together, though.

    Yeah, at their current launch cadence of every two to three months, it seems plausible that IFT-5 could happen in August, and IFT-6 in October. Even if they damage the tower during an IFT-5 catch, the second launch tower might be ready not long after.

      I’m really hoping the 2-3 month cadence speeds up to monthly now that the vehicle is more reliable and controllable (and not needing as many mishap investigations…) and they’re presumably improving pad hardware and procedures.
