Kicking this one off with Mary's latest video, which includes checking in with SN8 (as an example of how we'll get some cross over between the master production thread and SN8 specific).

Still no temporary flight restrictions for Starship SN8's 15-kilometer hop which was scheduled for no earlier than Monday. I understand that the target launch date is now later in the week. #SpaceX

Yesterday the FTS explosives have been installed on SN8. This was one of the last visible steps before the flights of SN5/6.

 I'm guessing they got their wish for a handoff static fire.

An alert notice has been given to the residents of Boca Chica village for Starship testing on Monday, but before you panic, it appears to be the standard static fire (or similar) notice. There is no requirement of temporarily leaving the village.

Check out windy.com
For upper level winds go to the menu and there’s a slider for altitude selection. Jet stream came down for a visit this week 🌬 Not sure how it will effect launch plans but Saturday is looking nice atm

SpaceXers were busy working on Starship SN8's aft as the launch schedule remains unclear. The launch will clear the way for SN9 to take a trip to the launch site.

 I just got informed that the flight is still on for 12/2. They're trying to get us to leave town tomorrow night.

StarShip SN8 undergoing inspections prior to its flight attempt, as of now static fire is canceled and will be proceeding into the flight window beginning Wednesday; which will concur Friday. Still no posted TFR’s and all is subject to change. The anticipation is building up!🚀

 The flight has been aimed at 12-3 now with some sort of testing (not a static fire) on 12-2.
