Ten Raptor engines first. Not 33. The highest chamber pressures SpaceX has ever run on a vehicle, deliberately scoped to contain any bad day. V3 booster is a clean-sheet redesign: lessons from V1/V2 failures and anomalies like B18's nitrogen explosion. *** thanks to David Carbutt and team for the edit

SpaceX’s first Starship V3 rocket has just successfully lifted off! This is the first test flight of Starship version 3, which features thousands of upgrades from V2. With this launch, SpaceX is debuting a new launch pad, booster, ship, engines and much more.

SpaceX caught a 230-foot booster mid-air. But the actual point is that launch costs are about to hit $10 a kilo. Once that happens, you can build factories in orbit, run compute where cooling is free, and send robots to do work that would wreck a human body. The space economy isn't some far-off thing. It's already being built. *** thanks to David Carbutt and team for the edit.

🇺🇸 33 Raptor 3 engines. All firing at once. 7,590 metric tons of thrust. Elon called it "the most powerful moving object ever made by far" and he's not wrong. SpaceX just completed the first successful full static fire of Super Heavy Booster V3, and the first integrated flight is weeks away. It gets caught mid-air by a tower on the way back down. Mars is in our future. Source: SpaceX, Starlink, Elon Musk

How can replacing four engines decide the fate of the world's most powerful rocket? 🚀 After Starship Flight 13's last-second abort, SpaceX is swapping out four Raptor engines on Booster 20 before trying again. With the first functional Starlink V3 deployment and multiple critical flight tests on the line, this launch could mark a major milestone on the road to full reusability. Here's why Flight 13 matters. #Starship #Flight13 #StarshipFlight13 #SpaceX #ElonMusk #Starbase #StarshipV3 #Raptor #Booster20 #Ship40 #StarlinkV3 #RocketLaunch

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

After flying to a peak altitude of ~90km, traveling more than 60 km downrange from Starbase, and completing its boostback burn and coast, Super Heavy ignited its landing burn less than 40 meters away from the preflight target. The Raptor engines and booster guidance system precisely maneuvered the vehicle through the highest wind speeds yet for a Super Heavy landing burn. Upgrades to the chopstick controls enabled them to start wider and move earlier for catch, expanding the envelope for booster landing burn trajectories.

Elon Musk has been publicly stuck in the Tesla CEO role he never wanted. The solution has been operating in plain sight for 17 years at SpaceX. Gwynne Shotwell just absorbed xAI into the SpaceX entity she runs. Tesla is next. The consolidation frees Elon to do psychotic engineering at the highest level while one of tech’s best operators executes across the empire. *** thanks to David Carbutt and team for the edit.

🚨🇺🇸 SPACEX UNVEILS STARSHIP V3 - THE ROCKET THAT'LL ACTUALLY GET US TO MARS SpaceX just dropped the blueprint for Starship's third generation and it's a complete overhaul. The upper stage looks similar on the outside but everything under the hood got rebuilt. New Raptor 3 engines with higher thrust, upgraded energy storage, extended mission duration capability, and docking adapters for orbital refueling demonstrations next year. Super Heavy booster? Three massive grid fins instead of four, 50% larger and strong enough to handle vehicle catch. The fuel transfer tube is literally the size of a Falcon 9 first stage. A rocket inside a rocket. Raptor 3 looks "radically different" with dramatic parts reduction and higher thrust. First flight engines already in production. This is the version going to the Moon and Mars.

🚨🇺🇸 SpaceX just rolled out a complete overhaul with Starship V3, the version Elon believes will actually work. Almost every major system on the vehicle has been redesigned from the ground up. Key changes debuting with V3: -Engines: Full design overhaul of the Raptor engines powering both Super Heavy and the Starship spacecraft -Fins: Alterations to the "gridfins" that guide the booster during landing -Hot-staging: Reworked hardware at the booster-ship separation point for better mid-flight protection -Fuel line: Redesigned "fuel transfer tube" enabling all 33 engines to ignite simultaneously and faster -Thermal protection: Large shrouds covering Raptor engines removed and replaced with targeted shielding -Propulsion system: Completely reimagined Starship spacecraft propulsion with larger propellant tanks -Satellite dispenser: New actuators and inverters increasing deployment speed for each satellite -Docking mechanism: New cone-shaped "docking drogues" for in-orbit Starship-to-Starship docking and propellant transfer That last piece is the most important. On-orbit refueling is the holy grail that makes deep space travel possible. Once Starships can dock and refuel each other in space, the moon becomes a weekend trip and Mars becomes a real destination. V3 is the architectural beginning of an interplanetary transit system.

🇺🇸 SPACEX FIRES UP SUPER HEAVY FOR STARSHIP FLIGHT 9 SpaceX just completed a static fire test of its Super Heavy booster ahead of Starship’s 9th flight. This isn’t its first rodeo—this booster flew on Flight 7 and returned safely. 29 of its 33 Raptor engines are already flight-proven, making this one of the most battle-tested rockets yet. All systems go for the next big push to orbit. Source: SpaceX

Half the West calls him a villain. History will call him the only person alive who has simultaneously rebuilt transportation, energy, space, telecom, AI, neuroscience, and robotics. The gap between today’s noise and tomorrow’s verdict is wider than it was for Jobs, Edison, or Rockefeller. *** thanks to David Carbutt and team for the edit.

SpaceX just filed to go public at $2 trillion. Because it owns the lowest-cost path to orbit and the fastest-growing global internet network on Earth. Starship drops the price per kilogram by 30–300×. That changes everything that touches space, energy, compute, and logistics. The real story is what comes next: the convergence with Tesla and xAI into a single vertically integrated machine. *** thanks to David Carbutt and team for the edit

Now that Starship Flight 12 is completed, how did the new V3 Booster performance compare to the older Flight 11 V2 Booster and did the redesign, higher TWR and flight path management really make a big difference? I thought we would look at one aspect of the Booster design to help answer this question, specifically how well the new design reduces gravity losses during the launch to hot staging portion of flight. Come alone with me for a simplified aerodynamics & rocket engineering discussion and then do a direct performance comparison using video clips from the SpaceX live streams. My intent is to help appreciate some of the effort the engineers have put into the new V3 booster and Raptor engine designs to increase the capabilities of the Starship system and greatly increase the payload to orbit potential of Starship. Obviously there are many other considerations (it is rocket science), but I hope you find this helpful.

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.
