Starbase Update

Currently Playing: Ship 35 Under Inspection After Anomaly; Pad B Launch Mount Nearly Ready | Starbase Update

This week at Starbase, Ship 35 lit up the test stand—literally. Following a successful single-engine static fire, SpaceX attempted a full 6-engine test... and things didn’t quite go to plan. We break down what happened, what it could mean, and what’s next for Flight 9. Meanwhile, Starbase is officially becoming a city! With over 97% of the vote in favor, SpaceX's Gateway to Mars is getting its own mayor and commissioners. Plus, major moves at Pad B as the second Orbital Launch Mount inches closer to rollout. Also in this episode: Ship 36 cryo test success, Ship 38 stacking begins, Test Tank 17 waits its turn, and infrastructure projects tear down the old to make way for the new. 🛰️ Stay tuned for NSF's live stream of the next OLM rollout and ongoing Ship 35 developments. 🌐 Stay in the loop with all the latest testing, launches, and Starbase happenings by subscribing and hitting the bell. 📱 And download the Next Spaceflight App for launch tracking, live streams, and real-time updates! 🔗 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.
