Starship test flight rocket just finished assembly at the Texas launch site. This is an actual picture, not a rendering.

This is for suborbital VTOL tests. Orbital version is taller, has thicker skins (won’t wrinkle) & a smoothly curving nose section.
Is it going to be like the grasshopper where you test it 1 meter, then 2 and so on.

Will there be some kind of shock absorbers installed on the feet of the landing legs?

Yes. They’re building that one at the port currently. That’ll be a lot closer to the actual Starship. Can’t wait to see that one fly!
