Front row seats for the world's largest + most powerful rocket launch—Starship V3 🚀 Captured in 8K60 on #GoProMISSION1 Pro by @LaunchHeavenX
Fun Fact: This 408-foot-tall (124m) rocket delivers over 18 million pounds of thrust. That's equivalent to the thrust of 31 Boeing 747s jumbo jets at full power, combined 🤯

@yunta_tsai They said it couldn’t be done.
Dozens of Starlink satellites simultaneously track Starship at all times and close the link through a gap in the plasma that is located in the leeward region towards the aft end of the rocket.
SENSACIONAL! STARSHIP VISTO DO ESPAÇO PELA CAMERA DE UM STARLINK!
A SpaceX conseguiu usar um de seus satélites equipados com câmeras para capturar imagens do Starship no espaço!
🔥 ¡Y así finalizó el vuelo 12 de Starship!
- Primer vuelo de la nueva generación V3
- Despegue completamente exitoso
- Capacidad de supervivencia ante la pérdida de motores
- Despliegue de satélites con cámaras en el espacio
- Prueba del escudo térmico y supervivencia de la Ship a la reentrada
- Amerizaje exitoso preciso en el objetivo
Ante el éxito de este vuelo, esperamos mas información de parte de SpaceX para confirmar mas detalles 🚀
The hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place did not retract.
If that can be fixed tonight, there will be another launch attempt tomorrow at 5:30 CT.
🔴 UNA HORA para el vuelo 12 de Starship. ¿Qué cambió desde la última vez? 🚀
- Rediseño completo del vehículo
- Motores Raptor 3 de nueva generación
- 660 toneladas más de empuje
- Hot staging integrado
- Escudo térmico mejorado
- Rejillas aerodinámicas rediseñadas
- 44 toneladas de carga útil
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!
