SpaceX fired all 33 Super Heavy engines on the ground on October 25 while preparing for Starship’s fifteenth test flight. The booster remained secured to the launch pad during the static fire, a step in checking propulsion readiness. Reporting describes a November flight and attempts to catch both booster and ship as goals, not a confirmed launch schedule or authorization. A ground test is not evidence of a successful flight or catch.
