Each of these flight tests continues to be just that: a test. They don’t occur in a lab or on a test stand but put flight hardware in a flight environment to maximize learning. SpaceX is testing hardware “in flight, “ meaning there is no plan to run months or years-long simulations; they learn by doing it. T
