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... show more

I’m at Starbase and so far despite not having the ship out at the launch site nor a full stack, it seems as if SpaceX is still going for a launch attempt tomorrow, 16 July starting at 5:45 PM CST with a 90 minute window. Here’s a brief update as I wait for the ship to roll out!!

Following yesterday's T-0 auto-abort of Flight 13 due to a booster engine issue, Starship Ship 40 has been destacked from Booster 20, and rolled back to the production site as the sun rose on a new day. With the next attempt currently NET Monday, July 20, we will have to keep an eye out for what happens next. NSF - NASASpaceflight.com |

At about T-8 hours before Starship Flight 13’s third attempt to launch, what are the conditions out at the launch site? What does the weather look like? And, what is it like to be at the launch site and Starbase about 8 or so hours from a launch? Today I talk about all of this and provide some updates (narration & visuals) on the construction around the launch site too & why much of this is necessary. Oh, and a reminder too. If you have ever thought about coming out to Starbase and experience something you can literally not do anywhere else in the world (being at an active rocket launch site with a fully stacked rocket just hours before a launch all up close), then you need to plan on doing so sooner than later. These opportunities may not last forever, and indeed some restrictions continue to be added over time. Good luck to SpaceX and the Starship team … I hope Friday with the 13th launch is lucky indeed! 🚀🍀🤞 Ellie in Space 🚀💫

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket suffered a rare last-second abort after engine ignition at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, as it attempted to launch 24 Starlink satellites. This comes days after a similar post-ignition abort for the company's Starship rocket.

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!

#SpaceX is preparing to move the massive new #Starship launch mount structure for #Starbase Pad B to the launch site for installation. In this post, I’ll give an overview of the design and use my 3D models to calculate the structure’s mass in its current configuration. This new launch mount, nearly an entire redesign, is SpaceX’s best effort at correcting many of the issues discovered with the mount at Pad A after a handful of launches. The only similarity between this mount and the original launch mount for Pad A is that 20 arms will still be used to support the #SuperHeavy booster before liftoff. However, the arms and everything else making up the structure are entirely different.

Elon Musk reveals what SpaceX is gearing up to do in the next five years "Five years from now, my prediction is we will launch and be operating every year more AI in space than the cumulative total on Earth" "100 gigawatts is on the order of 10,000 Starship launches. You want to do that in one year. That's like one Starship launch every hour" "It really depends on how quickly the ship has to go around the Earth and come back over the launch pad. If you can use a ship every 30 hours, you could do it with 30 ships" "SpaceX is gearing up to do 10,000 launches a year, and maybe even 20 or 30,000 launches a year" "If some of my predictions come true, SpaceX will launch more AI than the cumulative amount on Earth of everything else combined"

JUST IN: New footage of Elon Musk in SpaceX Starbase, Louisiana introducing video. Elon Musk "If you want to go out there and make life multiplanetary, and not just be a tourist—send a few people and come back—and if you want to go there and actually build a self-growing civilization, you need serious tonnage. We are going to bring, I think, probably north of 10,000 really exciting jobs to Louisiana. They are the kind of jobs that are so exciting, you cannot wait to go to work in the morning. It is super inspiring, and we believe in having a really fun work environment. It is hard to beat rockets, frankly. I think it has been incredibly exciting for the people of Louisiana. We will make it so the public can come and see, like they do at Cape Canaveral. People will go see Disney World, but then they will go over to Cape Canaveral to watch the rocket launch."

Just 8 days after the final stack of Superheavy-B16. B17's common dome section has been moved to the front of MB1 for stacking operations. As expected, the pace of vehicle assembly will have to increase dramatically in order to keep up with SpaceX's goals for Starship Launch Cadence in 2025. We are rapidly approaching Flight 7, and Booster 17 is the Flight 10 Booster. Assuming SpaceX plans to carry out 20 to 25 launches in 2025, this booster will need to be fully stacked, cryo tested, integrated with its 33 raptor engines, static fire tested, and receive final launch outfitting 8 to 10 weeks from today. To date, the record holder for fastest assembly to launch time is B13 which took 41 weeks from initial stacking to launch. This means the assembly and test campaign for B17 needs to be at least 4 times faster than the previous best (assuming there are no re-flights's of boosters within the next 4 launches). If every booster from here on has one re-flight before B17's inaugural launch, then the assembly to launch process only needs to be around 2 times faster than the current best. I should note that B14 is expected to be the new record holder. If it launches on Jan 10 it will have been just under 40 weeks. Another important detail is that from what we can tell, this a Version 1 Booster. This means that we should expect a minimum of 4 more launches before Pad B is operational. One thing is for sure 2025 is going to be WILD!!! Shoutout to The Ringwatchers discord server for helping me gather the required data on such short notice. Make sure to follow them if you haven't already.

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

Did you see the rocket launch? Here's video and pics sent to us a few minutes ago. This is not a SpaceX launch, but it appears to have been out of Vandenberg. We're working on getting more details. Updates:

you don't have to spend days and $1000-$10,000 on your launch video!!! 22 hours since launched, and over $26,000 in revenue for SHIP OR DIE with a launch video i made in 1 hour for $3 bucks here is how i made the launch video (with code) and how you can make one like it too:

This may be the new Rocket Garden at Starbase, with a raised center structure, curving stairs up either side and perhaps space for Booster 12 & ship 20 displays. Looks to be nearing completion, perhaps by the end of August. If this is the new Rocket Garden, I hope it is open to the public.

🇺🇸 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.

Coming to SpaceX StarbaseTX for Flight 12? Well, there are new public access restrictions you need to be aware of that have recently been put into place. All of the area behind (south) of the launch site, including the mud flats and most of the sand dunes are now off limits, which is a big departure from what we have been used to for the previous 11 Flights and before that too. There are new signs and roped off areas, part of both the expansion and construction at the launch site and a wildlife/bird refuge that extends throughout this area. Also, some new restrictions as to where you can park and observe ship and booster rollout operations. The most important thing to keep in mind is follow the instructions you are given by the county Sherrif and the City of Starbase security personnel and do not cross into private or protected areas. Starbase is a very special place that is unlike any other in the world, but over time, there will be more and more restrictions to what you are able to see and do. As always, I recommend you come here sooner than later before we lost all access. I hope this public service announcement is helpful!

Getting a good look at both sides of Ship 42 (Flight 15) as it passes our highway cameras this evening, while heading to the launch site for catch testing. (This is not the ship for the next flight). Watch here:
