Not to rain on your parade, but you don't know what you don't know.

I bet you lunch that there is a clerk at FAA carefully tracking what Space X did and coming up with items to put in the request list, no matter how irrelevant, that are not done.
Have you ever seen government investigation/process that ends 'all good, nothing to change' result?

Well they did discuss a list of 60+ items in the investigation “Led by SpaceX” and all the big ones are done.

It’ll go in the next 3-5 weeks I think.

Can’t wait.

I’m guessing SpaceX announces a date in the next three weeks. FAA “pushes them back by a month to review their fixes I’d these issues” to flex and to placate the naysayers who are still mad about the sand and concrete on the beach. It goes off in about six weeks.

Elon posted all of the 63 squawks and 57 which are complete.
The remaining 6 pertain to future flights.

I didn’t realize they’ll have to destack to reach the pull pins on the FTS simply due to their height above ground level. I bet that bugs the crap out of a few people.

Stack was destacked, Hot Staging Ring removed and some work done on the top of the booster (welding?).

Stack now restacked to sit for a while.
Will have to be destacked again prior to flight to arm the FTS.

Probably 3-6 weeks at this point is what they say.

Fish and wildlife just announced that they will take the full 130 days they are allowed to review the revised environmental impact statement that now includes the water deluge.
