Ship 41 rolls to Pad 2 with two flown heat shield tiles from Ship 40

SpaceX rolled Ship 41 to Pad 2 for stacking with Booster 21, completing the Flight 14 vehicle. For the first time in the Starship program, two heat shield tiles recovered from Ship 40 after Flight 13 were installed on the ship. The mission is targeted no earlier than September 28 and would be Starship's first orbital attempt with Starlink V3 deployment.
