With a new record Raptor 3 engine spotted almost every day (latest record is #132), it possible all 33 engines for B19 were tested around the same time.

When Starship Booster 19 left Pad 2, a few of the engines looked very familiar. Looking back, the @NASASpaceflight McGregor Live team spotted engines 57, 58, and 67 leaving the SpaceX engine testing facility back in November 2025, 4 months before. nsf.live/mcgregor

Quite the landscape here in Norway. #shotoniphone

Starbase GigaBay Month Five This month saw work begin on the next level of the GigaBay, it is interesting to see the difference between the lower levels that have been fully outfitted, and the newer levels. @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase

Over at SpaceX's McGregor test site, a unique test earlier today, as a Super Heavy Booster transfer tube underwent a cryo test in a rig similar to the ones used at Massey's for Test Tanks to simulate the pressures experienced in flight. @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/mcgregor

@ENNEPS Anything similar comparing Pad1 performance ? I’m curious

With Booster 19 back at the Production Site, a look at the four tankings of CH4 & LOX during the 10 day "initial activation" testing of Pad 2 and the V3 Super Heavy Booster. Do you think it will get even faster by the time of Flight 12? @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase

After a busy few days of testing at Pad 2, Starship Booster 19 rolled back home to Mega Bay 1. Next up should be be inspections, and possibly getting a few more engines before its next trip to the Launch Site. @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase

Full multi-angle replay of Booster 19 being lifted off the launch mount at Pad 2, ahead of a potential rollback to MB1, tonight. We are planning to stream the rollback, but stay tuned to SBL until then! @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase | youtube.com/live/TBl8jO3NM…

Booster 19 is actively being lifted off the launch mount at Pad 2. Follow along now on SBL to watch the rest! @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase

Completing its part of the mission, the booster returned back to Earth, landing on "Of Course I Still Love You" (OCISLY), out in the Pacific Ocean.

SpaceX has launched the Starlink Group 17-24 mission, aboard the Falcon 9 B1088-14 from SLC-4E at the Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB), in California, sending 25 Starlink v2 Mini satellites into Low Earth Orbit.

The 4th day of testing brought was looked like a aborted static fire test, as Booster 19 and Pad 2 continue in their progressive testing campaign. With no closures currently scheduled, we will have to wait and see what is next. @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase

STATIC FIRE: Multi angle replay as Booster 19 fires up, While it was a short test, potentially an abort, this was the first time for Pad 2, the first time for V3, and the first time Raptor 3's have fired up together. @NASASpaceflight livestream: youtube.com/watch?v=z83PHp…

Throughout his carreer, Goddard patented 214 inventions. @NASAGoddard was named after this American rocket pioneer in 1959.

The launch wasn't particularly spectacular, though: the rocket rose just 12.5 meters during a 2.5-second flight that ended 56 meters away in a snow covered cabbage field. It was fueled by gasoline and liquid oxygen.

March 16th - on this day in 1926, Robert H. Goddard launched the world's first liquid-fueled rocket in Auburn, Massachusetts.

Starbase Pad 2 is getting ready for a potential static fire test with B19, as the chopsticks and SQD have moved into their testing position. @NASASpaceflight will be live with a dedicated stream once testing gets going youtube.com/watch?v=z83PHp… until then nsf.live/starbase
