    @NASASpaceflight3 years ago SpaceX has dropped the SN/BN naming convention. The vehicles are now referred to as Booster # for Super Heavy boosters and Ship # for Starships.

    @topsecret18373 years ago Sn/bn wasnt very helpful anyways. So for now, ill refer to a four digit system for version number, block number, and 00-99 for individual vehicles. So starship 0520 and booster 0103 then.
    once production starships are produced, then we start at 100x, and onwards to 19, hopefully with no block improvements within a hundred produced to keep this simplified

    @bog62823 years ago Just read an article saying that booster 3 is a prototype and will not fly. Booster 4 is the orbital model. Is that right? New news - or just fake news? If true it puts us still months out before even thinking of flying. 1
