On Sunday, Musk tweeted that 57 of the 63 objects had already been accomplished.

SpaceX has additionally launched an announcement, saying:

Testing improvement flight {hardware} in a flight atmosphere is what allows our groups to shortly be taught and execute design adjustments and {hardware} upgrades to enhance the likelihood of success sooner or later.
