    No static fire before launch is a decision. For a rocket that size with 7x 1st stage engines, I’d expect them to go beyond a wet dress rehearsal for checking engine interactions and plumbing. They’ve seemed pretty into being new old space, but this is a big exception.

    Putting two smallsats into earth orbit on the first launch is super anticlimactic, unless you read into the note about a later launch being possible with a higher energy orbit insertion…

    A 2024 launch doesn’t seem certain, but good luck to them.
