Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]SpaceX could [URL=https://spacenews.com/spacex-preparing-to-begin-starship-hopper-tests/]begin initial tests[/URL] of the Starhopper, a prototype of the company's Super Heavy vehicle, as soon as this week, Elon Musk said March 17. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]In a series of tweets, Musk said flights of a "hopper" test vehicle, powered by a single Raptor engine, would "hopefully" begin this week pending work to integrate the engine, which arrived at the company's South Texas test site late last week, with the vehicle. Residents of a housing subdivision known as Boca Chica Village, near the test site on the Gulf of Mexico coast east of Brownsville, Texas, received a notice Friday from local officials informing them that the company could start testing "as soon as the week of March 18, 2019," according to copies of the notice posted on social media. The notice said that a "safety zone" perimeter would be established for those tests, including checkpoints on the road leading from Brownsville past Boca Chica Village to the SpaceX site. Asked on Twitter if the tests were in fact scheduled to begin this week, Musk replied, "Hopefully. Always many issues integrating engine & stage. First hops will lift off, but only barely."[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
