Returning to full stack Starship. Never going to get bored by huge mechanical chopsticks picking up a large Ship and planting it on the booster. PS They will still need to do another short destack to arm the FTS, but that is usually very close to the launch date.

I want to see a 10 ft "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" banner and rope attached to the FTS.

Awesome video clip of full stack, @NASASpaceflight! 🙌🏗️🚀🌤️🤩 (Plus of course the up-close Raptor views!) Thanks so much for sharing! (…Getting closer to IFT-2 🤞🤞🤞🤞)

Why, just wondering what is FTS ?

I’m going to go with the fact that the FAA and SpaceX were working so closely together and this thing is going to happen soon… Going to refrain for now…🤐

Why restacking then? Could they not leave it on the ground until needing to arm the FTS?

Elon Musk on Starship: — The next launch will be the final one using the Starlink V2 stack; after that, Starship moves to Version 3, a major upgrade with Raptor 3 engines and many changes — V3 may face initial challenges due to the redesign, but it will be capable of fully reusable launches delivering over 100 tons to orbit — Barring major setbacks, SpaceX expects to demonstrate full reusability next year, recovering both the booster and the ship

Very interesting how the chopsticks made a huge translation to the left after they caught the booster.

ELON: I THINK WE’LL ACHIEVE FULL AND RAPID REUSABILITY OF STARSHIP IN 2026 “We're pretty close to being able to rapidly reuse the booster for Starship. It comes back and gets caught by the arms, and then the arms place it back in the launch mount. We still have a little bit of engine damage and a little bit of heat shield damage. There are tweaks that are needed. But we're pretty close to achieving full and rapid reusability of the booster. For the ship, I think we'll achieve reusability this year, and I think we'll achieve rapid reusability of the whole stack, ship and booster next year. This is the fundamental breakthrough required for life to become multiplanetary.” Source: The Joe Rogan Experience, February 28, 2025, Elon Musk , Joe Rogan

PART 2 interview and tour with Elon Musk is HERE! Get up close and personal to a full stack of Starship / SuperHeavy on the Orbital Launch Mount at SpaceX's Starbase launch site. Then we hear how Starship Flight 4 went when we followed up with Elon after the launch!

Still trying to understand how Booster 20 passed its static fire, yet four engines failed to ignite during the launch attempt. Why doesn’t SpaceX stack the vehicle at the launch site immediately after a successful booster static fire and proceed directly into launch preparations? #starship #SpaceX

🇺🇸 ELON: STARSHIP TO BE CAUGHT MID-AIR BY TOWER THIS YEAR SpaceX aims to catch Starship using the launch tower’s giant arms—just like it already does with the Super Heavy booster. If successful, it would mark a huge leap toward rapid reusability. No ocean landings, no recovery ships—just launch, catch, refuel, repeat. Elon: “Later this year, if fate smiles upon SpaceX, the ship will be caught by the tower, just like the booster.” Reusable Starship is essential for building a sustainable route to Mars.

What was your reaction to the Starship splashdown yesterday? Here is Ellie in Space 🚀💫 and my live reactions … unreal and so kept expecting to see it explode and got annoyed when they went to another screen … I wanted to see the ship floating! Kudos to the drone crew for braving the potential kaboom which never came to get amazing up-close live views!

STATIC FIRE! Ship 37 fires up in what should be the final SF ahead of Flight 10. Elon Musk noted that they are tracking mid-August for launch. They will need to dismantle the mods to Pad 1 before they can full-stack B16 and S37.

Water deluge test! Next up we need to see the Booster and ship roll out, full stack and probably a WDR tomorrow. Getting closer to Flight 12 currently NET 20 May.

Starship Flight 10: The scaffolding is coming down from Pad 1's OLM, with Booster 16 waiting for Ship 37. Ship 37 is still inside Mega Bay 2, but there's plenty of time to roll out and become a full stack ahead of Sunday's countdown.

While we wait for SpaceX to de-stack Ship 40 and roll back booster 20 for engine swaps and other checks following yesterdays abort right at engine ignition, I thought I’d share my close encounter of Ship 40 as it rolled to the launch site a few days ago. If you’ve never been to Starbase for a launch, you may not know just how close you can be to the largest rocket in history just hours before it launches … there is nothing else like this anywhere in the world! Waiting for a new launch date … currently NET 20 July, but this could and likely will change so watch for the official SpaceX announcement.

Elon Musk explains the “four R’s” that will make life multiplanetary: Rapidly Reusable Reliable Rockets. The breakthrough is catching the Super Heavy booster with giant mechanical “chopsticks” (Mechazilla arms). No landing legs = no time wasted on leg deployment, pickup, leg retraction, or slow transport. The same tower that stacks the rocket catches it directly after landing and places it straight back on the launch mount in seconds. Booster flight time back to pad: ~5–6 minutes. Refueling + stacking Starship on top: ~30–40 minutes. → In principle, the entire stack could refly every 1–2 hours. Next milestone: catch the Starship upper stage the same way. This extreme rapid reuse is the only path to drastically lower the cost per ton to Mars.

SpaceX is not attempting to catch the Super Heavy Booster for Starship Flight 9 due to a strategic decision to prioritize other mission objectives and reduce risks. The booster, Booster 14-2, previously flew on Flight 7 and is set to perform a landing burn in the Gulf of America, instead of returning to the launch tower for a catch. This choice likely stems from the need to focus on resolving ongoing issues with the Starship upper stage, which has failed in the last two flights (Flights 7 and 8) due to engine-related anomalies. By opting for a simpler booster landing profile, SpaceX can concentrate on testing and refining the Block 2 Starship design, particularly its heat shield and reentry capabilities, without the added complexity of a tower catch.

RFK Jr: "If you get poisoned by Coca-Cola, you can stop drinking Coca-Cola. But if you get poisoned by a vaccine, your kids still have to take that vaccine to get to school." "If you have reservations about it … you've got to take it anyway." "What we're going to try to do is to make sure that the parents who do get injured get compensation, that they get it very quickly and they get it without the kind of adversarial impediments that have now been erected over the past 40 years."

As we wait for Flight 12 of Starship, I thought I’d share some of the images, sights and sounds around Starbase today. Nice views of the launch suite, another deluge system test, a walk around the Starfactory & views into the Gigabay which is well into construction. So, what is coming up? After midnight tonight, expect both Booster 19 and Ship 39 to depart the production site for the launch pad and then stacking the ship onto the booster ahead of a planned Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) tomorrow. Both the Ship and Booster already have the FTS installed and the ship is loaded with the payload (20 Starlink Simulators and 2 More with reaction wheels and cameras) so if all goes well with the WDR tomorrow, they wont need to de-stack and can go right into prep for Wednesday launch attempt, which is currently planned for 20 May at 5:30 PM CST. So, the next 48 hours should have plenty of activity here at Starbase! Hoping for good luck for the Starship team!

"The question is how much uranium do you need to take with you on that starship to get back, you know, from the surface of Mars to Earth... The answer is actually a cube about this big... You need a cube of uranium about this large to generate all of the fuel to get that Starship back to the surface of Earth again." Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors
