S42 Testing: Following its lift into full stack position, the team at Starbase have performed multiple attachment and retractions of the SQD arm as Starship Ship 42 testing continues. NSF - NASASpaceflight.com |

Third time's the charm? The Ship QD looks to have been fully connected to Starship Ship 42 after two retractions, as testing continues.

@NASASpaceflight Whoa, didn't realize they could do this. Means a caught ship can actually be hooked up and safed. That's cool.

@NASASpaceflight They should load about 50 tons of propelent to simulate the catch weight.

@NASASpaceflight What the heck are they doing?😂 refil or detank?😅

@NASASpaceflight They’re gonna do a high altitude hop and catch test guys
