A static fire on this massive booster today.

Go to link in title to see the monster.
This is a test one that will just attempt to static fire without blowing up. It only has 3 engines instead of the required 33 to 35 engines. BN4 will be the one to launch if this prototype doesn't blow up. See the photo in the story.

#2  Of course, the FAA just said that it hasn't approved the environmental impact statement for the launch tower, so it may have to be torn down.
I'm serious.
