Curated by: NASASpaceflight (186 videos)
Starbase may be gearing up for the first-ever static fire of a flown Super Heavy booster, and all signs point to Booster 14. But is that really what's happening—and when? Meanwhile, SpaceX continues the slow but steady teardown of the High Bay to make room for the massive Giga Bay, capable of handling 24 Starships. At Pad B, things are moving fast: 🔥 Chopstick arms complete key tests 💧 Deluge systems begin testing 🏗️ Flame trench walls rise 🧪 LOX pumps and exhaust systems get their first spin-up Over at KSC’s LC-39A, sheet piles are going in to support trench work, while questions swirl around Ship 39, Booster 18, and the mysterious new header tank test article spotted in Starfactory. And to top it all off, Starship is now eligible to bid for NASA LSP contracts. No, it’s not “operational” yet—but the future’s looking bright for SpaceX's biggest rocket. 🔗 NSF Store: https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/shop/ ⚡ Become a member of NASASpaceflight's channel for exclusive discord access, fast turnaround clips, and other exclusive benefits.
