SpaceX has announced road closures for a static firing test of Starship SN 20 sometime today, 2021-11-10. Jessica Kirsh has scheduled live stream coverage to starting at 16:00 UTC. Following these events requires patience, as delays are common and SpaceX does not announce events leading up to the test. This is to be the first static firing test which includes the Raptor vacuum engines as well as the sea level Raptors used in previous tests.

The continuous live streams from NASASpaceflight and LabPadre will likely also cover the test.
