Provided Elon decides not to push things further, SN5 will likely be retired next to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and further tests will be performed by SN6, which is being constructed with a newer alloy, and SN8, which is expected to have a nose faring, flight control surfaces and three Raptor engines.

It really was an odd sight. It genuinely looked like a cartoon where a silo got sick of it's location and finally got up the strength to blast into a new one. All that's missing is a shocked farmer coming out to discover the change.

Yup! Not going to see anyone complaining about missing the 4:15 to Cydonia , not during my lifetime at any rate, but we might at least see yearly, maybe even monthly launches.
