To know is essentially the same as not knowing. The only thing that occurs is the rearrangement of atoms in your brain.

SpaceX May Test Propellant Transfer During the Next Starship Launch
December 7, 2023 by Brian Wang
https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2023/12/s ... aunch.html
Lakiesha Hawkins, deputy associate administrator for NASA’s Moon to Mars program office, one of her slides (at a Congressional Committee presentation) said SpaceX is moving quickly toward the third Super Heavy/Starship launch and that this flight will include a propellant transfer demonstration.
SpaceX Has a $52 million cryogenic fluid management NASA Tipping point award.
This test would involve transferring super-cold propellant from one tank to another inside a Starship spacecraft. It’s a precursor to future, more complex demonstrations involving two giant Starships docked together in Earth orbit. Then SpaceX will be ready to send a Starship toward the Moon for a test landing without astronauts onboard.
