Seven months between Flight 11 and Flight 12, which is the longest gap since the program started iterating quickly. V3 is a significant redesign (new pad, Raptor 3, taller stack, no booster catch planned because of the component changes) so the gap makes sense, but it's a reminder that the cadence people were projecting a year ago hasn't materialized. Still, first flight from Pad 2 plus first V3 hardware in one shot is a lot of new variables.
