"expected to be both Block 2 vehicles"

I am removing this line from the article stating that both vehicles to be used for flight 8 will be Block 2 vehicles. First, this claim is unsourced, and as far as I know, no reliable sources claim this. The vehicles expected to be flown on Flight 8 are currently B15/S34, and booster 15 is still a block 1 booster.

In addition, the draft environmental assessment for an increased launch cadence from Starbase up to 25 launches per year, (up from the current 5 launches per year), also states that the hot staging ring is expected to be jettisoned for the first 20 flights. Although I believe this number is probably a overestimate, it doesn't help to any extent whatsoever in suggesting that the block 2 booster is going to debut any soon as flight 8.

If anyone has a reliable source that supports this claim, they can feel free to re-add this claim. User3749 (talk) 04:15, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Right, thanks. For the same reasons, I removed the recent addition of claiming Ship 34 + Booster 15; no source given. "If anyone has a reliable source that supports this claim, they can feel free to re-add this claim" 47.69.162.76 (talk) 10:13, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
