Curated by: NASASpaceflight (186 videos)
🚀 Starbase is changing fast! This week: ✅ Giga Bay Construction: Starbase’s largest building yet is rising fast—pile driving is underway and the scale is massive! ✅ Starfactory & Infrastructure: New work stands, facility expansions, and rapid changes all aimed at Block 3 production. ✅ Massey’s Aftermath: The Ship 36 explosion cleanup continues. Damage assessment and recovery work remain ongoing. ✅ McGregor Minute: Possible retirement of a Raptor 2 test stand after a dramatic last firing… plus new Raptor 3 engines roll by. ✅ Pad 2 Updates: Final trench work, deluge system progress, and potential launch pad milestones. ✅ Block 3 Progress: Booster 18 continues stacking, Ship 39’s nosecone waits for tiles, and the first Block 3 vehicles inch closer to flight readiness. ✅ THE WILD THEORY: Did SpaceX just quietly start modifying a Ship transport stand to enable static fires… on the OLM?! Sounds crazy… but the signs are there. ✅ Cape Construction Progress: Thanks to Axiom 4 launch footage, we also caught new glimpses of Starship Pad 39A work at KSC. 🍳 Comment “bacon” if you made it to the end before commenting 🛠️ Like, share, and subscribe to stay with us through the rebuild. 🔥 Don’t forget to grab exclusive NSF Starship flight patches and merch from the NSF Store to support our coverage: https://shop.nasaspaceflight.com ⚡ Become a member of NASASpaceflight's channel for exclusive discord access, fast turnaround clips, and other exclusive benefits.
