#4 Woodrow - one engine is already installed. Tests will begin with one. Check the various drone videos at Boca-Chica. The other building going on there is the actual Starship. It and it's booster the "Starship Heavy" are really need right away to launch most of the StarLink communications satellites as 12,000 sats would take forever to launch with F9, F9-H, or any ULA rockets. Just too many.
