Elon Musk has promised to make a presentation on his Starship plans this summer. Tim the Everyday Astronaut asked him if that's still on, and Elon said "probably June 20".

Speculation is pointing to that being a reference to the 2019 AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) Conference in Dallas on June 17-21.

People are guessing that Elon's gonna want some cool video to show in his presentation (which will be packed standing-room-only), so speculation is that the watertower (the first Starhopper) will be getting its Raptor engine in the next few weeks (SN-03 currently at McGregor?) and will hopefully make at least one untethered flight before June 20 (lots of preparations to the control system etc. seem to currently be underway).
