Well... it's going to be some time before we see Starship test flight 10,

Starship 36 was next in line for test flight 10, but Starship 36 suffered an explosion while it underwent static fire testing, the whole infrastructure for static fire testing starships is damaged.. until it gets repaired, there will be no test flight without static fire testing Starships first

So far, each and every version of the newer version/block 2 of Starships has exploded, as the others exploded in space during there test flights, ship 36 exploded during ground testing.

SpaceX stated it should be fully repaired in about 3 months time, based on that i don't think we'll see Starship Test Flight 10 for at least another 4 to 5+ months.

The trump admin is massively cutting space funding for both NASA and SpaceX, so that’s a future factor also. SpaceX government funding is largely via NASA

Trump's 2026 budget would slash NASA funding by 24% and its workforce by nearly one third

A number of high-profile missions would get the axe, including the New Horizons Pluto probe and Juno Jupiter orbiter.
