STARSHIP is the best rocket ever made! (or is it?)



SpaceX is currently aiming for July 16th at 5:45PM CDT for its thirteenth flight. For the first time, it will deploy twenty real V3 Starlink satellites, six of which will scan Starship’s heat shield to analyze it. Starship will also attempt to relight its engine again; it was skipped on the last flight due to an issue with the engine. Super Heavy is reattempting a landing in the Gulf after experiencing a failed boostback last flight. The whole flight is expected to last just over an hour; whatever happens, excitement is guaranteed!



With SpaceX aiming to launch the Starship Flight 13 mission from Starbase later this week, the @FAANews said the following regarding the closure of the Starship Flight 12, SpaceX-led mishap investigation.

Ok so starship can currently can send 37.5 tons to LEO




A new road delay has been published from Masseys to the production site. This is possibly for the booster cryo/thrust simulator stand in preparation for Booster 21's cryogenic proof testing campaign.
