Weekly Spaceflight Update #202

This week at Starbase Block 3 design testing continues at the Massey Outpost, the air separation plant is a hive of activity, and the last of the scaffolding is removed from around Ship 39's thermal protection tiles. Meanwhile in other space news, Crew 11 returns from the ISS, a pair of historic test stands are demolished at the Marshall Space Flight Center and Blue Origin's MK1 Lunar Lander grows one step closer to being ready for launch.
