Re: Starship is Go...

I see reports that static fires of the two Flight 14 stages have taken place.  The launch is supposedly targeted for mid-September,  and will be fully orbital.  To include release of some operational Starlinks.  Tower catches were not mentioned in the latest story that I saw.
