As of Nov 2021, Starship SN-20 / Ship 20 was slated to be tested for the First Orbital Test flight, launching on top of Super Heavy booster 4. The test will be no earlier than March 2022. The test involves separation of the booster and splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico, while Ship 20 will accelerate to orbital velocity and will re-enter over the Pacific Ocean splashing down near Hawaii. But on Feb 10, 2022, the SN-20 and B4 were stacked for Elon Musk's presentation at Starbase. Days later, SN20 was unstacked from B4 again. It is unsure which Ship will fly to orbit first.
