At the same time, progress on Ship 39 suggests its testing campaign may still be a bit further out as SpaceX balances ship readiness with ongoing test tank activity at Massey’s. In this week’s Starbase Update, we break down the rapid progress on Booster 19, the scrapping of Booster 18 hardware, delays and upgrades affecting Ship 39, and major testing activity at Massey’s and McGregor. We also take a deep look at Pad 2’s construction and system testing, continued demolition at Pad 1, and accelerating work on Giga Bay—both at Starbase and on Florida’s Space Coast. All of this comes as SpaceX pushes hard toward Starship Flight 12, a critical milestone for Starship Version 3 and NASA’s Artemis Human Landing System timeline. 🚀 Topics in this episode include: - Booster 19 stacking progress and Version 3 hardware - Booster 18 scrapping and Massey’s cleanup - Ship 39 readiness, raceway installation, and test delays - Booster and ship test tank activity at Massey’s - Methane tank farm revival and Ship 36 recovery upgrades - Pad 2 construction, system testing, and ASU work - Pad 1 demolition and future flame trench plans - Giga Bay construction at Starbase and Kennedy Space Center - Starship updates from the Space Coast and LC-39A - Raptor engine testing cadence at McGregor 👕 Support our work!
