Eric Berger aka @sciguyspace @SciGuySpace writes

Thirty days left in the year ... Much technical work remains ... SpaceX must also obtain a launch license from the FAA, which is in progress ... While it remains theoretically possible that Starship will make its orbital launch attempt in December, there is an increasing likelihood that the test flight will slip into the early part of 2023.
